Lee Lead Ladle – casting and dross skimming ladle
Code: LEE/90026Related products
Product detailed description
The Lee Lead Ladle 90026 is a small tool for working with molten lead. Lee specifies casting, skimming and stirring, rather than skimming alone. Its nominal 2 oz capacity is approximately 57 g of lead, not a volume in fluid ounces.
The metal bowl and wooden handle form dedicated casting equipment. Keep the handle away from flames and radiant heat. Tools contaminated with lead must not be returned to food preparation.
The small capacity suits surface work and small pours. A casting charge must include feed metal and sprues, so the weight of a single finished casting alone does not establish suitability.
Practical procedure
- Prepare a clean, completely dry tool and a safe place for collected dross.
- Stir or skim gently without striking the vessel.
- For pouring, take a manageable charge and follow the mould instructions.
- Store residues safely and let the tool cool away from other people.
Compare the Your Mold 180 g stainless steel ladle where a larger charge is needed. A larger tool is not automatically better for every feed opening; consider charge and handling.
When using Clean Cast Lead Flux, follow its own dosing instructions. Dross can contain lead, and skimming the surface does not remove the need for safe cleanup. Supplied as one ladle.
Use dry metal and dry tools. Water or moisture can cause molten metal to spatter violently. Wear eye protection, heat-resistant gloves, protective clothing and closed footwear. Provide effective extraction or ventilation and keep food, drinks, children and pregnant people away. Lead and contaminated dust are toxic. Wash your hands after work, clean surfaces and dispose of residues appropriately.
