[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2595920, member: 15054"] I like to pull the zinc weights from my buckets before i even start melting. I melt the lead outside over a BBQ pit once the lead starts melting i add more to the stainless steel pot. I mix with a long stainless spoon. When the steel clips float i fetch them out with a big speaker magnet and my welding gloves on my hands. I pour the molten lead into muffin pans or other things i have for ingots. I use vice grips i clamp onto the pot for a handle. I clamp them on the pot when the lead is ready to pour. Again welding gloves on. Make sure no sprinkles or sweat rolling off your forehead gets into the pot. My buddy wants to get a pot of lead melting and from 30 feet away wants to rig a line that trips a cup of water into the lead just to see it explode. That should be a safety video.. have some plastic or a jacket hanging close by to see the damage the lead does to it. Use common sense and safety glasses along with long sleeve shirt and gloves. I have poured lead for over 30 years and once you get the hang of it it is easy as pie. [/QUOTE]
