I want to mold with bank sinker molds. How much clearance is under the bottom of the mold. Thanks. asking about the lee precision 20 pound pro.

No problems using Do It molds under this pot. Made hundreds of banks without a clearance problem. Just be aware that the little adjustment screw for the pouring control like to move around on its own. Would be nice if they incorporated a lock nut into it but its not hard to add one yourself.

4 1/2 " I'm estimating. Its worth every penny, Just make sure you clean it out and learn how to adjust the flow rate. I didn't the first time andI had a huge puddle of cooled lead lol. Buy it you won't be disappointed

I molded an object with a volume of 37 ounces but it took a set and 1/4 of another set of these bottles. Safe bet that if you have a model with a displacement greater than the one I did, you need two sets. Some find the simplest way is to pour rice around your model then pour the rice into measuring cups to get a better idea of how much. The hollow mold that I made was about 11.5 inches high and 4 inches in diameter with a width of 1 inch on the sides and bottom of the mold. So.. to encapsulate a volume of 37 ounces with enough material so that the mold was free standing it was a set and 1/4 of silicone at the least. My mold did not have a top though, with a top, it would have been a set and a half, no question about it.

Yes. Turn the mold over and release the bottom from the top. It should slide out. I have been using my mold for 20 years.

The depth of the numbers is 21/32". I just uploaded an image with a ruler to give scale to the mold. Hope this helps.

If you've made your mold I would suggest finding out how much water it holds, then estimating that volume compared to the kit. I have embedded scrap to stretch the casting resin volume, but it will show unless a partial, cured pour keeps the scrap from touching outer surfaces.

I can't find the answer on the web. From using it, I would think you could do the smaller 200 gr projectile 6 banger molds. I love using mine.

Yes, I have molding at the bottom and it works great. It takes a couple minutes to get right. Dont get frustrated if it doesnt open and close properly just work with the adjustment of the corners,after you find the sweet spot it works amazing.

We have molding and had to place the bottom attachment immediately above where the molding ended. Did not work to put it on the molding. Great hate though!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. My project was 4.5" base molding. It's a sliding miter, I'm just not sure if you slide it all the way forward how many inches that would be. It's not in the description?

I don't have an actual lead thermometer, but I have used it in my Lee 20lb bottom pour pot at a setting of 7 1/2 with no problem. One thing, it's just like a mold, it needs to "come up to temperature" before you can use it. I just set it in the lead and lift it out every 10-15 seconds to see when the molten lead stops sticking to it.

You don't say how much clearance you do have. This unit requires19" high. If you don't have 19 clearance below your sink it won't fit. I had 20 inches and it wouldn't work under my counter. The company refunded my money with out any problems though. Bought the smaller 20qt, but didn't think that through very well, 20 quarts is more for a bathroom installation. Ended up using my old 13 gal slide out. Was disappointed because I really wanted it attached to the door.

No. Designed for lead and soft metals. Works great for casting bullets and sinkers.Great product for the price. I have used Lee products for years.

I iuse a 7ft.ugly stick, medium strength. bought it at bass pro. I have tried others , but this one gives me great casting. Bass Pro $29.00

Hello, I purchased two of these for my PacFab (now Pentair) skimmers, and they work perfectly... The measurement across the top is exactly 8 1/4" if measured end to end above the handle, however if measured across the handle it is exactly 8 1/8". So it would seem to be slightly egged due to the pressure the handle puts on it. I had never even noticed until taking these measurements for you. The other specs seem exactly as the oem pacfab basket's are. The basket is not really flexible at the reinforced top, but is somewhat bendable on the sides. I would call it heavy duty... As I remember things, it seems to be just about what my pool came with but that was 24 years ago. By the way, that OEM spec for the top rim from Pentair is 8 5/16" but I am willing to bet it is somewhat egged too. The handle is very strong, so it pushes on the basket slightly. I hope this has helped. Darrell W. Fort Worth, Texas

Hi, this in response to the Lee Pro 20 melter. The instructions state 20 lbs and it will take 20 to 30 minutes at 600 deg. What I do is melt to obtain about 3/4 high but be very carful. Also I had trouble spout poring after a few uses.I started dipping and it worked OK.
