KeithB said he made a mould a few year ago with some rubber/silicone?? material.

any idea what the stuffs called ? rubber/silicone

 

[KeithB]

Bri, It was Silicone rubber specifically made for pouring, large tub of \"syrup\" type white stuff and a clear bottle of hardener, would of cost an absolute fortune, I only got it because it was past it\'s shelf life.

I didn\'t believe the adhesives / materials expert \"Sticky Stan\" when he told me silicone rubber would withstand molten lead.

[alan]

[alan]

anyone fancy a top of the range melting pot,not sure if its DCA selling this or one of there suppliers,Ebay item number 7121845789 ,could,nt justify buying it myself but someone might want it

 

[KeithB]

Alan, That seller is OLD MOULDY sells quality pirk moulds.

I\'ve just sold one of those pots on ebay for £35, works pretty well, but not really designed for making leads over a couple of ounces in my opinion. I\'ve seen sites selling them new for about £50.

Bri, RTV rings a bell as the name of that rubber!

 

[alan]

ok Keith cheers

 

[alan]

Keith if you have sold it what are you using now ?I fancy something other than a auld pan and stove but I\'m not prepared to pay silly money any idea\'s ?

 

[KeithB]

Propane bottle, industrial gas ring and a big cast iron pan.

Just been talikg to Marc, he uses a Stainless Steel Teapot, bung the lead in, stick it on the stove, then pour from the spout!!!! GREAT IDEA

 

[alan]

cheers Keith I\'ll stick to my auld pan then lol,like the tea pot idea as well,have to look out for one

Marc reckons Wilkinsons - £2 gotta be worth a try!

 

[mark]

never thought about a teapot, what a brill idea. I\'ve been using an old steel soup ladle.

with all this talk of melting, I\'ve got 2 pirk molds if anyone wants to borrow em before next season.

 

[boblydon]
