What I cannot find is the rosin I used to flux the casting pot with.

I still have heaps or pure bees wax which I could use and a small quantity of rosin cored solder which I can throw in which will flux the pot without changing the pure lead composition. Well hardly at all.

So, what are people using for flux these days?

@P38 suggested I use a tea candle next batch of sinkers.
