    I've always used the Frankford Arsenal Cleancast. It's what I started with and lasts a surprising amount of time. It's very handy for the last flux in the casting pot.

    LMW brought me a big 'ol bag of sawdust and I intend to use it when smelting.

    I use both, the sawdust is used during the rendering stage where i make ingots from scrap. The wax is always a final flux that the lead gets right before pouring.

    My table saw has sat under a shed for 3 years. If the pile of sawdust under it gets to high I scoop it into the garden. When I've got a pot of melted lead for ingots I'll get a double hand full and dump in the pot.
