mark poulson Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Will the Lee's plastic pot get hot enough to melt/pour lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 No, my buddy has one and it only gets up to 390 - 410 at the absolute hottest. The pot is the exact same as the lead pot only the thermostat and heating coils are different so as to not get too hot. If you wanted to, you can buy the thermostat and coil and convert a lead pot to a plastic melter very easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks. I got two Lee's plastic pots a year+ ago, and I can't seem to get them to work without scorching the plastic, so I was wondering if I could repurpose them. I'm not going to invest in the kind of electronic sensor controller (PED?) I would need to make them work. Too cheap! Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
