Can any help me with this proplem?

I used a lee melting pot to make sinkers with over the winter. The problem is how do you clean the pour hole in the bottom? The guy I borrowed it form told me to just tap a awl into it to clean it out. Well This might work for but sooner or latter the bottom part dislodges and you end up with lead all over the place. Got the new part from Lee in less then a week to fix it before I gave it back to him.

I just take a large paper clip and run it up th pour spout with a cup below. You also need to turn the screw at the top of the rod while you are using it. One other note use clean lead. Now it does take a little while longer for the spout lead to melt.
