Lead making

[david.northeast]

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

If ya got transport mate you can borrow my bottle and burner, but its the big propane bottle

 

[david.northeast]

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.

[kingcod deano]

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

the safest way to do it is not in the kitchen lead fumes and particles are poisonous you dont5 want it anywhere near your cooker

If you have any pet bird's like a parrot etc the poisonous fume's will kill them straight away aswell

david,keep out of the house full stop mate:exclam::exclam:

buy some off one of the lads on here(cheaper than dealers) to keep you going till you get a bottle and burner sorted out.

theres some times 1 or 2 in the yellow paper

Dean ya puff, fancy using wool hahaha, i use welders gauntlets, takes about half an hour to do roughly about 40 - 50 leads with the bottle and burner, heat the mould as the leads melting, simples..................
