   dripping lead pot and evaporust

      My $30 yard sale bottom pour lead pot drips . A lot . I've cleaned up   
   the stopper rod with no noticeable slowing . The bottom of the hole has   
   some crusty rust That I haven't been successful at removing . I see 2   
   options - try to match the taper of the bottom of the hole (drill bit   
   isn't the same) with a dowel and lap it clean or try using Evaporust to   
   clean it up .   
      If anybody has other options I'd like to hear 'em . I'd really like   
   to use this over the dipper and pot , I've started casting balls and   
   bullets for some of my neighbors and this is faster and less spillage .
