Cleaning smear off mold

Another option. If you notice while you are casting that the mold is getting smears of lead on it. Just take a second and wipe the smear with a corner of the cloth you drop the bullets on that usually removes the smear and doesn't interrupt the casting cadence. Then you can apply a dab of BP or 2 cycle oil to keep the smears away.
