I use high temp silicone valve stem lube it will not run, infact I cover the outside of the mould block with a very thin coat to keep the alloy from sticking on it as well the sprue plate. with a bullet in the cavity I put a very small amount on my finger tip and rub it under the plate and top of the mould block when it's cold and wipe it off with a paper shop towel. Just leave a bullet in the cavity so you don't get it in the cavity.
You can find it at a plumbing supply.
I just cover the adjusting screw and hold it in the hot lead to preheat the base plug screw, but keep the mould block out of the hot lead and your bullet base will be sharp.
It never took more than three weeks for me to get a custom mould delivered.
