lunker05 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 without having a presto pot with the clearance how are you guys pouring the two piece aluminum molds? Are you just pouring with cups? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 That's how I do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just raise the pot up in the air some, its very easy to make a stand out of 2x4's most people do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bssmstr Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I pour out of a 1 cup Anchor&Hocking glass measuring cup. Warm your 2 piece a little, heat the plastic to about 330 or so, and try to pour down the middle of the spout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 With 2 peice molds I use my pot for production and 2 cup pyrex for smaller quantities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunker05 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 del, I dont have my pots yet, but when you say raise up the pot a little bit, are you saying that you can take the bottom base off of a lee production pot, because as they come there isn't enough clearance.

dampeoples Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If it's like the lead pots, it's just a few screws holding it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunker05 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Del, by the way I was wondering if I could talk with you on the phone for just a few minutes. I just have a couple of questions. Thanks, lunker05@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 call me tomorrow at the shop, I am usually there really late 8pm-2am az time. On the lee pots they are really easy to do. pop out the 4 screws on the bottom turn the base and screw the screws back in. then raise it to the height you need. Make sure you screw it down some how other wise it will tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottoman Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Not sure if this is what u are asking but i screwed 2 pieces of strapping to the work bench then screwed the pesto pot to the straping only the front is screwed. then when i get low on plastic i put a small piece of cardboard behind the back pieces of the pot to help pour the rest of the plastic. just a hint drill small holes thru the legs or you split the plastic legs, also if you use a pencil to outline the legs on the strapping it helps line them up after u clean the pot. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcl58 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 go to a cooking store that handles stainless steal meat injectors. they hold about 10 to 15 ounces of plastic. cut the needle off and drill out end. use pam spray oil. unscrew handel and remove push rod and spray cylinder with pam. heat plastic in pyrex/microwave, reasemble injector and put into molten plastic pull back handle, drawing up plastic. use thick leather gloves mucho hot, inject plastic into mold. use long sleeve shirts, leather gloves and splash shield until you gain confidence in using this method of injecting two/part single molds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
