sparky Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Hi gents, I'm hoping someone may be able to help me out please. I;ve borrowed the club moulds, a kind roofer has given me some lead .............. but i've been let down, and do not have a source of melting lead in. Would anyone be able to lend me a pot and a ladle to do the job? Thanks [ hopefully !!!! ] Mick Quote

Rob Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 I use a very old (70's orange) aluminium saucepan and a stainless steel cooking ladle from Tesco or similar. Quote
sparky Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Posted January 5, 2014 Thank you for the replies fella's, Chris [ Kingfisher 126 ] has very kindly sorted me out with all the bits I require................... all I need is some dry weather to do some now !!!! Top man Chris, thank you. Mick Quote
great white Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Glad that you have the gear sorted Mick Just remember to wear the safety kit and ensure all of the lead is dry, as you do not want it spitting in the pan. Charlie Quote
sparky Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Posted January 5, 2014 Not much chance of keeping it dry in this weather Charlie !!!!! Thanks for the advice anyway, I've got the safety gear etc. and will be wearing it for sure. Mick Quote
great white Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Mick Do not put anything wet into a pot of boiling lead mate, it will cause a steam bubble that is very likely to blow back molten lead. I saw the results of this once, it was not pretty. According to the angler with the burnt face, The cheap leads were not worth the pain. I keep my bits of lead in an old sack in the garage to make sure they stay dry/dry out fully before I use them Charlie Stuie 1 Quote
sparky Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Charlie, thanks again for the advice, I would let it dry before I put it into pot.......it was just a comment on the weather I will wait until a dry day, and also ensure lead is totally dry, even if I have put it into the oven first !!!. I do not have a garage, so its all gotta be done " AL FRESCO " Excuse the pun Cheers, Mick Stuie 1 Quote
