Stardust Power Paint https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lurecraft_Stardust_Powder_Paint_2oz/descpage-LCSTD.html Simply heat your jig or other metal bait using your preferred heat source, then give it a quick dip in Stardust paint. The initial Stardust coating will be rough. Return the coated lure to your heat source until the paint smooths. Heads can be dipped in cool water to speed up the curing process, otherwise hang them until cool.

I never pour lead without my torch. Like Jig Man said melt off the bad pours with the torch. Also after placing the hook , keeper and or the other components in the mold, blast them with the torch to heat them up. Close the mold and pour your lead. You should also blast the area in the mold that is not filling, with the torch. Your problems will go away.
