Bees wax, candles, sawdust, bullet lube, there’s a ton of different things you can use. I use bees wax because I have a relation that has bee hives, so it’s readily available. Yes, flux when casting ingots, it’s when you get the most trash out of your lead. Skim the trash off your batch and flux again, if you think it needs it. Then flux again when you toss the ingots in the casting pot.

Bees wax and bullet lube just smoke and smell. Sawdust smells like the house is on fire. Candles, if scented, smell great, like other days in other times......
