grip leads

[lingking]

i have made a few boat weights/rippers etc

but might be branching out to grip leads

do you use dummy wires in the holes,and pull em out when the lead is cast

cheers in advance

Yes, use a thicker guage wire than your grip wires, and pull em out with pliers, wd40 stops the wires sticking.

[Philysafc]

It's best to use wires a mill bigger than your grip wires if you can , and pull them out when the lead has set (seconds really)
Enjoy mate its easy and ya can knock loads up

I just use the same gauge wire as I use for the grippers. Smoke them in a candle flame before you start to stop them sticking. Pull them out with pliers when the mould has just set.

If the holes are a bit tight when the sinker is cold (to combat this, don't pull the wires out too soon), just twist a wire into the hole with a bit of hand pressure to open it out a bit.
