basspro159 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well I am thinking of getting a pot to por out of and see that a lot of guys have the presto pots and some have the lee pots. the lee pot appeals to me because it seems you dont have to use as much plastic with it as the presto. which pot would be the better investment? I just pour for myself and friends. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 small lee pot if you are pouring small amounts. the prestos are better to get some larger production going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroggi1 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 small lee pot if you are pouring small amounts. the prestos are better to get some larger production going. Presto does fine with 2 cups or more. Figure the last 4-8 sticks you need to work everything to make them right. You could always shut it down thougth and save whats left for next time.

Zbass Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Cobra hit it on the head. For smaller amounts the Lee's pot works well for about 6-8 oz. Have used both and both have their place. Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't mean to jump the thread but how do you stir the plastic with a lee pot? I currently have a presto pot from MBroggi and I am looking at getting a Lee pot so I can better pour multi colors and smaller test amounts.

JSC Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 To stir in a Lees pot use what ever you use to stir in pyrex ... some say not to use wood but I have found using a strip of good hardwood works well with me. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 A very small high temp spatula. The old manual method! Zbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plt Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 bhorling,s I use the larger lee pot but had to make my own,heres how I didit. I bought a table top drill press but found the chuck portion would not reach the center of the pot, so with the help of a good fr iend he cut an oval plate to move the head forword to reach the center of the pot.I use a 3/4 inch paddle bit to stir with just adjust the speed with the belt on top.Works great.
