Needle nose pliers and easily dip it into the molten lead. But dont just dunk the eye under the lead

I have found when pouring the 1/32 or smaller sizes put the pour spout of the pot right down into the mold. Lift and drop the handle about as fast as you can and move the mold away from the spot quickly before the lead has time to cool. They will pour beautifully and the sprues will be about half the size.
Can you say clog the pour spout of the bottom pour!!! Most lift the handle too high when pouring small jigs and don't tilt the mold at an angle this will prevent lead slipping into the next cavity.
