    Pot is for bullet mold work only. Only ingots or sprues go in there. I have fluxed a little bit with wax as I went. What do you see in particular re: debris? The old bullets vs the new ones were from the exact same lead especially since I literally smelted the first batch of boolits. The difference was purely heat.

    I will try oil to see how that works.
