Long shot I know - does anyone local to me have a snapper lead mould we could borrow?
Got a trip to Gladstone later in the year, got some lead, just need a mould.
Been reading all the helpfull tips on here when I did a search - thanks to all who take the time to contribute.

Hi Cindy,
I have a few different sizes, what sizes are you looking for? Happy to help.
you'd just need to work out a pick up and return, I'm going to be a bit difficult to pin down as of Sunday for the next few weeks.
Check your PM
Cheers
Rhys

Gidday Cindy,
Mate, I'm a bit closer to you then Rhys and have a lot of molds.
What sizes are you after??
If it suits you I could make some up ready and you can just drop some lead off when your passing through Warwick sometime.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
Where do you guys get your lead from. I gather you don't use old car batteries?
Cheers Phil

mate, battery lead is dangerous, spattery and fumey - avoid it at all cost!

yep, totally agree with you there Rhys.Originally Posted by revs57
The scrapey usually has old lead roof flashings.
Reasonably clean, non toxic and easy to cut into manageable bits for the pot. It's usually a very good grade of lead.
Batteries suck.
Wheel weights have to be sorted but I use them for different weights for the same size sinker as they can be anything from zinc to aluminium to lead now...but for normal everyday run of the mill sinkers lead flashings are the go.

Thanks to all for your very generous offers. Im sorry I havent got back to you all yet, very busy with work and also heading up to Pindari Dam on Wed for 5days, so I will get back to you all next week.
Thanks again
Cindy
Why go to metal recyclers when used sheet lead can be purchased direct from roof restorers a lot cheeper. Look in the yellow pages there are plenty of roof restorers
