Rob Olling Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I am mainly planning on pouring 1/32 oz jig heads, is it worth or needed to get the 4-20 pot that you can adjust the flow on??? Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmaster Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 It helps. I have a Lee 4, and a Lee 4-20, and use the bigger one all the time. The flow adjust works ok, but I dont use it much. I have found that a very hot mold will do the trick for smaller heads. I pour ALOT of small heads, so lots of trial and error experience....ha I will open up the valve, and pass the mold under the spout, filling all cavities without stopping, (instead of individually)......when finished, you will have a long gate sprue, with all of the heads connected to it. Simply twist them off, and put the long sprue back in the pot. It is much more efficient that trying to hit each cavity. Also, the 4-20 pot has a plunger (it is part of the flow control system) that allows for quick cleaning of the valve in the event that it drips......which it does alot. Twist that plunger with a screwdriver (it has a slot in the top of it), and it will (temporarily) clean out whatever piece of crud is stuck in the valve.
