[QUOTE="KDM, post: 86339, member: 314"] The thread is titled "DIY jig painting". If you are pouring your own jigs, make sure you have a good cutter to trim off the excess lead. You can get some very interesting shapes if you don't get it all off. Also, if you goof up with a pour, don't sweat it, just hold the jig by the hook with a needle nose pliers and dip back into the lead pot. The lead will remelt and you can start over. Be sure to have VERY GOOD ventilation when you're pouring and try to clean the slag off the top of the pot. The slag can clog the molds and make life interesting. I can get about 8-10 reps out of my mold before I have to stop and let the mold cool off. PM me if you have any questions, I'm sure there are more little lessons I've learned the hard way that I could probably keep you from repeating. Have fun, it's addicting!!! [/QUOTE]
