Lead for jig heads ?
#5
Thanks for the input, and welcome to the site.
Since my original post I have experimented with some wheel weights and have found that if I sort them to make sure I don't have any zinc ones things work out well. I also came into about 80 Lbs of sheet lead, real soft stuff, I have broken down all of my lead into 1lb ingots and use a fluxing compound to clean it up. Then I will mix my soft lead with the wheel weight lead, and so far have had great results, even on my smallest jigs. I also use a spray on mold release which not only makes the jigs just fall out of the mold, but also helps them fill out nicely.
