Yep and two other tips as well. Always pre-heat your mold so it is allowed to warm up. That will make pouring easier and produce a better product. Alternatively, do some dummy pours and use that as a way to pre-heat your molds.
I also agree with LH about the need for all precautions to be taken when dealing with lead. Use a well ventilated area and a fan to push the air around. Wear gloves on your hands to prevent lead uptake through your skin. The extensive warnings that come with molds are there for a very important reason and that is to prevent a condition called "lead enchalopothy" or lead poisoning.
Easy to get, hard to treat and over time the organic brain damage from prolonged exposure is not pretty.
