cleaning your lead

I can not remember cleaning my lead casting pots in the 25 years they have been in use! Is that a new EPA requirement? I fire it up, melt the lead, cast the bullets and shut it off. One pot for pure lead, one for alloy. Never been cleaned and still melt lead fine!
What he said. I have a cast iron pot that I believe was a plumber's lead pot that I use on the Coleman for the first melt to make ingots for my Lee furnace. I'm guessing it's over 50 years old - may be twice that. I squirt it with WD-40 after it cools. If it gets a little rust - oh well, it floats when I scrape the sides while fluxing and is skimmed with the dross.
Never heard of using Borax, but then I've never heard of a lot of things.
