  18. Try packing the gap with grease, get a bit of wood ( dowel / broom handle ) AND GENTLY TAP IT IN........the pressure should displace the bearing................ that used to work for me most of the time, good luck. Mick

    Lead melting

    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

    Lead melting

    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
