King Bait Co. Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I am looking to get 2 lees 24 oz pots this week. Are their any better for the money, how do they pour and how tall are they from base to spout. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinfool/2 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I just got one today there is only 4'' of clearance. my stick mold is 6'' but if you take the 4 screws out of the bottom and turn it around and put them back in and build a 2x4 frame with 1/2 ply on top screw bace fast you now have 8'' works great just make sure you have everything secured don't want to spill hot plastic.

ghost Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Probably a stupid question but has me curious. Are lee plastic and lead pots the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveviper Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I was wondering the same thing,how are those molds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njrfishing Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 They look the same but have a different heat elements inside, if you use a lead pot to heat plastic you will end up burning your plastic creating a lot of smoke and a really bad smell.

ghost Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I use a microwave for my plastic and have been using a hot pot 2 thing for lead. Just bought a lee IV for lead now and I think a lee pot would be a lot faster than a microwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
