"Roger Derby" wrote in message nk.net... Don't discard the idea of wood molds just because they char. Carbon crucibles are common Wood molds can be used when pouring lead. To protect them from charring, paint them with "waterglass". Don't ask me where to get "waterglass"-- someone gave me some when I was using a wood mold for a 3000# ballast keel. It is very fluid and when it dries the surface will have a glossy appearance... Regarding, using the BBQ grill for melting the lead, be careful not to load your pot with too much lead. The legs or grill grate could collapse and spill hot lead on you. Steve s/v Good Intentions |
