I was trying to cast some round ball last night. I had some radio pharmacy containers that I assumed to be lead. Anyway, when it melted, they were milky looking and seemed to come out of the pot (Lee) like soft serve ice cream and ruined my new .600 molds with the stuff. I guess it melted the hole on top so now all the balls are deformed with a very large sprue. Is there any way to repair the molds or should I just chalk it up to experience and buy another? The balls also come out with stripes and not a smooth finish.
