Well I've started again making Leads And Feeders.
I've bought a few more moulds Dumpy Dice,TearDrop/Pear, And a heavier Feeder Strap mould ( Dead Cow )
Getting quite addicted to it now and enjoy seeing the results there really easy to make i use size 8 Big eye swivels on the Feeders and a 45mm Boom i also spray the feeders with plasti-kote Black/Green
Dumpy Dice 2 oz, 2.5oz & 3 oz
Feeders 25mm & 35mm x 65mm
Weights 1.5oz, 2oz, 2.5oz, 4oz,5oz, & 6oz
Pears 1oz,2oz,3oz & 4oz
The tricky bit is melting the lead and the most important bit is to have some protection, Safety Glasses,Gloves and away form all sources of moisture or you'll soon be in A&E
I find it best to cut the lead up into small pieces using some tin snips as it melts allot Quicker i'd also say its a good idea to clean the lead with a wire brush before melting as you seam to get allot of Scum on the top of the Molten lead.

I also made a Jig to hold the Mould Securely
