Hi James
If you going to pour the molten lead on top of the
solid lead its not going to look too good a couple of SS coach
screws should keep it in place.What I done was to make the mould out of 6mm
plate then tacked the steel insert (channel} in its position, checking the mould
was level hanging from chain with a scale attached from a gantry .Then
melted the lead with LP gas / O2 torch(largest nozel)" in the mould"
until I had the desired weight taking the weight of the tackle and mould into
consideration .I made a fork like tool for removing all the impurities.I
concentrated on keeping all the lead molten .Once the lead had set I cut the
angled side of the mould(the bottom of the weight being the top of the
mould) and the tacks off .I used allmost 2 full cylinders of O2.They
drop perfectly.
