Messed up Mould

[eph289]

I hope this is the right forum for this .I've got a lyman mould That's all gooped up with lead soldered to it. Anyone have any advice on how to remove this stuff ? I'd really like to use it .

:hmm: Just put the mould on a hot plate or your melting pot until it warms up---the lead (if it is lead ) should just fall off. :thumbsup:

If the molten lead doesn't just fall off, while wearing gloves,take a DRY rag and wipe the metal off the mold blocks...

make sure it is not a polyester, or any synthetic rag, use cotton or better yet steel wool

You can use a lead pencil to scrape off the lead without harming the mould. I always keep a few pencils on the casting bench.
