Short term solution for you is to melt down some of the smaller ingots that you might have (you DO have some in storage, right?) until you get enough that the molten lake covers the bottom of the lead block. Then, expect at least 1/2 hour - 45 minutes for the serious melting to happen. It DOES take a while, but when it starts to go, it goes fast.
