Can I use one of there for my lead pot and casting molds? I see them for as

I'm not currently casting due to a lack of lead. I use an immersion probe and a Omega
temp controller with a relay to control my lead pot.

I have a feeling thata IR thermometer would give you a reference value. Both on the top
of melt and molds.

That might be numbers that ties to nothing else but works for you in finding a sweet spot
in casting.

I have both but when I get back in action, casting wise, I'll look up this thread and add
what I learn.
