I am hoping to shortly make up some leads. I would like to borrow the club mould\s.

 

Is there a "keeper of the moulds" , any advise on how, who, where or when would be gratefully recieved.

 

Thanks

Ok Adam, whatever it takes. Will we be doing it at the AGM or Saturday? Let me know so I can top up with some Dutch courage smile.gif

 

I have been contacted by the current holder of the moulds so should be sorted at the end of the month.

moulds I have

 

But can anyone help with a decent burner

 

My old tar heating ring seems to really soot up everything

 

Any experts out there want to tender a solution or theory?

 

Out of interest I have natural gas , butane and Propane available as fuel and have tried the first two with little differance.

charlie have a look to see if you have an air whole blockage it might not be getting the right amount of air gas mix

Thanks Charlie - I will contact you if \ when I will be moulding. I will be using a petrol stove to melt the lead - I have been told this is sufficient.

Yep - Coleman Sportster Stove.

 

Runs on 20p of unleaded for about an hour, and more than powerful for melting lead.

 

I have a spare one here which just needs a new generator - about a fiver from Bournemouth Fishing Lodge.

 

Shout if you want it.

The last lot I did recently (28lb of lead used) I used the single burner gas stove I use on the boat. This is the one with a large gas cannister inserted into it and it did the job just fine. I think I paid

Thanks for the offer Adam but I do have the coleman - bl**dy brilliant. Can heat up a 6 man ten in 3 seconds!!
