Lead making

[Guest]

If you were to make gripper leads in the kitchen what would be the safest way of doin it
1. Pouring
2. Clamping
3. Extracting lead

Cheers for the offer mate but would Be more of a clart on for the sake of 50 leads
Would be easier if i could get a bottle and burner for mesel

I use a steel teapot and a deep baking tray, clamp the mould and sit it in the bottom of the tray then pour the lead from the teapot, if any spills it sits in the tray.

Window open I use a metal t.pot that has siv built in to collect the crude I use a vice clamped to on the work top to hold the mould I also heat the wires up and mould before I start and use 100 percent wool to handle the mould because after you make 10 off the belt it gets really really hot
