the work would include chipping out slag with a hammer when the ladle
was cold and repairing the lining with fireclay

I would think that a Ladle Dauber would be a person who daubs at the
surface
of the molten iron to hold back the 'slag' when the ladle is tipped to pour
the iron into the pig moulds.
