What Do You Use For Flux?

+1 to bullet lube (I use beeswax/canola) and sawdust.

But BEWARE of using tumbling media. Lead isn't too dangerous until it is oxidized-such as in spent primers.

So if you use tumble media for pot flux, you could expose yourself to the bad stuff pretty quickly. Just a thought.
 
I pry the puddled wax out of the bottom of my candle holders. Smells nice too but kinda new at this. Seems to work OK.
 
Fat Pine Stick/Question on flux

Old time plumbers in my part of the country, (southeast) used fat pine. It is the heartwood of long leaf pine, also the best wood stove kindling.
Stirring with a good sized splinter should work.

I understand flux is to "clean up" your melt, anyone able to tell me how it works?

It's been some time since I made a post but I've got my hands on a Lee pot the other day. Really want to try it out ( never done it before). Just want to make some ingots right now and was looking for different ways to flux and low and behold here the right thread to get me started. Thanks for all the info guys.
