How to make sinkers:

1. Ensure you are wearing protective clothing and all care must be taken when heating and pouring lead.
2. Put scrap lead into a saucepan and heat until molten (lead will normally melt at 650 degrees).
3. Once lead is molten, use a cooking spoon to remove any impurities that have risen to the top.
4. Take your coat hanger wire (wire is only used when making sinkers that require a hole in the centre) and place it within the mould.
5. Using tongs, grab your mould carefully and have the pouring cavity facing you.
6. Pour molten lead into the mould until the cavity is full.
7. It is recommended that the mould be preheated before use.
8. Once the mould is heated and your lead is fully molten and clean, you can proceed to pour the lead into the cavity.
9. Wait 10 seconds and, using pliers, pull the wire out then proceed to open the mould.
10. Using your pliers, snip the excess lead off the top of the sinkers.
11. Good luck and remember to always take care.
12. When disposing of unwanted lead, please take note of your local authority’s guidelines for appropriate methods.

Warning:

1. Lead is a toxic material
2. Use PPE when handling moulds
3. Use dry moulds as water can cause molten lead to explode.
