    You may be right but for as cheap as the respirator is ($30 with filter) i will use one.

    From the research i have done so far i believe you need a respirator that can hold P100(HEPA) filters. 3M 7093 P100 Hepa filter. 3M 6000 series respirator. The respirators come in 3 sizes, small, medium, large. Depending on your face you may need a medium or large. Small are usually for women.

    I saw a video on Youtube of a guy dropping some water on the top of a melt and it just evaporated off with no issues. I believe the problem comes from placing material that may have trapped moisture in a pot with melted material already in it. The steam created has no where to go so it expands...

    As far as molds go, i will probably go with the Lee as they are affordable. I see they make a 6 cavity and a 2 cavity. Any preference on what you guys use regarding multiple cavity molds?

    weighing roundballs-beam scale

    I can't see myself using a beam to measure out a box of balls, too time consuming waiting for the beam to settle. Digital is fast and accurate, and the scale can be inexpensive.

    I want to start casting my own balls so I'm doing reaserch on casting equipment. You guys that cast give your opinion on some equipment you use? What electric melters? Advantages/disadvantages of aluminum or steel moulds. Anything else that may be added to the casting kit.

    Ball weight.

    Agree with you there. If a guy is happy with pie plate accuracy and they enjoy it and have a great time, nothing wrong with that. For me one of the reasons i got into black powder is the challange it brings to get the most accuracy out of your system. The process of learning all these little...
