Make one yourself
Lead casting is not hard (melt the lead 'outside' to avoid the toxic fumes) A coleman stove will be adequate. use and old cooking pot (discard the pot when done). Get your lead from an automotive tire store - buy the used balance weights. Make a mold using an 'instant concrete mix ', use ;just enough' water to make a very dry mix, then put in an oven to completely dry the mold - the mold has to be *completely dry" when pouring in molten metal.. Use solid stainless eye screws for the attachments.'through' the casting. .com, Bob wrote: also availible from a search he use a "cannon ball" used in west coast salmon/tuna troll fishery. lead weight from 20-40 pounds. Cheep compared to "marine kellets" Bob |
