    How can I make a lead mold?

    I was wondering if there is anything I could use to make a mold for a particular sinker that I use. I don't really want to go to the expense of having one made. Maybe I will have to, but I figured I would ask first. Thanks in advance.

    Could just modify a current mold you have thats similar by using a dremel.

    That looks pretty cool. I am not trying to make anything special, just the mojo style carolina weights. They are just a little pricey for being just lead. It looks like I could get 4 weights in one of those molds. Those look like pouring sprues, could be wrong but hopefully that is what they are. These things will actually handle the heat of lead? Thanks for the link.

    Not heavy enough. That would have been perfect though. I need 3/4 and 1oz sizes. What do you think about this mold. http://do-itmolds.com/shop/ind...10_65 Do you think if I would use some some of release agent, I could pull out the wire and use it as a weight? It would work perfect.

    I would think you could use a pull pin instead of the wire form.
    I would coat the pull pin
