Painter1 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 LC has a Lee pot for melting plastic & Bears has Presto Pots. I would really welcome some advice on the advantages of one over the other. My wife actually ordered me a Lee but we got the lead melter IV instead. I assume thta is too hot for plastic. Thank you for your advice and assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Lee is better used just for pouring (cook plastisol in Micro and then pour into lee) The Presto is for cook & pour ... get one with stirrer system. DO NOT USE THE LEE POT FOR LEAD WITH PLASTISOL !!!!!!!! Pull a SEARCH in this Plastic Forum and you will get all kinds of information on this subject. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I got the Lee from LC. Says Metal melter on the box so though I got the wrong one. But there is a white sticker on the side of the box that says plastic. Double check yours. ....Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I asked about that since that is how mine came. I guess they only have one box, but turned up to 9 the temperture was 370 degrees, so it is a plastic pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
