Lead has a low melting point, calor gas has enough heat to melt it.

Woz - you going to be in the SW any time soon? I have a 6lb mold.
Not in the near future. Remarkably we have persuaded the relatives to leave the SW and visit us for a change. I can't see them staying long.

B&Q Wicks Travis perkins, 5Kg pack should be fine but it depends how big the tray is. I used an old cake tin.

No i made about a dozen weights and still have the mold somewhere but the shape of the block must be nicely tapered to allow easy removal. Some of my lead blocks are a bit square on the sides so thats not so good.
