I've made a few sinkers. The mould needs to be hot - but not too hot! I've had the lead run straight out the bottom. Trial and error but quite easy to get right... Great video mate!

[@TheHookandTheCook]

Thanks yes same problem a few times, glad you enjoyed.

Hmmm... I never thought about using a vice, great idea. I shall give that a go. :D

What about melting steel? To make the sinkers.. like old rotors and brakes.. car parts,etc..

[@TheHookandTheCook]

steel need extreme heat to melt and a steel sinker would be double the size to be the same weight then rust is a problem, they do make sinkers from metal I have seen them, thanks for your feed back. Regards Scotty & Paul

[@tknight8948]

Hey mate how do you know how long to heat the mould for?

[@TheHookandTheCook]

The mould will let you know if its to cold the lead wont form the sinkers and this is normal until it heats up so you first few pours may fail.

[@tknight8948]

TheHookandTheCook ok thanks so much guys. Also, can the mould get too hot?

[@ignite2excite]

mate. easy as. but as someone noted. your wearing shorts. welders leathers are better an apron and gloves , old clothes will stick to flesh if its exposed to hot metal, the iron vice is sapping the mould heat away. use some wooded vice jaws as insulation, water will expand 17000 times its original volume. thats why it will seems like it molten lead explodes. so don't sweat over your pot, ahh the pot. one day its gunna tip over. and burn something real bad, wear a safety mask unless you want to end up like a lead man I just luv the experts on you tube how do you clean the molten lead in the pot. and don't throw the crud away. is heavy and can be used as a weight

[@joegoedhart1259]

Australia was built on Stubby shorts. Its funny how shorts are now banned on building sites due to skin cancer, but you are allowed to smoke on site. I can't pitch/sheet roofs in long pants, they are hot and dangerous (slipping down between stride, on rafters while wearing a nail bag) so won't do the jobs with these rules. Mine sites are definitely out. I would like to see how you add a bait release to a star sinker for surf fishing, thanks. Good video. Faultless. Wear whatever you are comfortable in. You been doing it for years and you know your limitations, and too much clothing/weight (in my trade)..will be the cause of the accident.

Fumes start to come out of molten lead at about 500°C. Lead melts at around 325°C. Keep the temperature within that range while working in well ventilated or vented area and you should be fine.

[@donkeysarereal6719]

​@@marvzjp How do you know how hot it is?

Wish molds were not so expensive.
