Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Lead
Casting
Hi All,
does anyone have any top tips for lead casting? Im ready to
cast my drop weights. Obviously there is a lot of information on the
internet about lead casting, but they mostly refer to making small items
such as bullets or fishing weights. Here is a good one i found.
Anyway, ive been collecting lead for a while and have a big pile of
mostly roof lead, but also fishing weights, diving weights, lead pipes
etc.
Also, due to the different pod opening closing method i have made,
the standard drop weights are not going to fit, so im going to have to
modify the shape of them. I'm just going to make sure they are the
same volume as the standard ones, just a different shape. I believe
they need to be 125lb? Is that correct?
Any thoughts?
Kind regards
James
