So there I am casting away today, and kerplonk, one side of my mold falls off.
Fortunately I found the pin on the floor, and tapped it back in.
This doesn't seem like something that should happen to a relatively new Lee mold, or is it?
If something is worth shooting once, it's worth shooting a bunch of times.
I've got a lot of Lee molds, some over 25 years old, and I've only had one drop a pin. It is a newer one, go figure. Anyway, put the pin back and peen the opening, at least that's the advice I was given. What I did was put the pin back and put the hole to the spigot of my bottom pour pot and applied a quick dab of molten alloy. I went back to casting and it has held for probably 20k more boolits over the past three years.

You said Lee...enough info right there. They can produce a good boolit, but it's the QC work a person has to do to them that gets so irritating to me.You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
