MuskyGary Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 When I first start my Lee pot I turn the dial all the way up until the lead melts. Then Im told I should turn it down about half-way so I don't have to flux as much. Is this what you guys do? How low on your pot setting do you go? I know all pots are different, but it seem I do a lot of fluxing at high heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBK Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I leave mine on 9 until the lead starts to get crusty on top, then I back it down to 6. Haven't had a problem yet. I flux every time I add new lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I never leave mine on that high. I leave it on 7 all of the time. Maybe in the dead of winter I will turn it up to 8, or when I'm using really hard lead but that's about it. I flux all of my pots every hour whether they need it or not.
