Lead produces fumes, not vapors. Therefore, an N95 should be sufficient. It can also be absorbed so gloves should also be worn. I use tools when melting lead so I don’t touch it until it’s cool. I believe you would need to be in contact with lead for quite a while before it becomes a health issues such as someone that works with it daily. When an employee is overexposed that have to be removed for a certain amount of time to recover. Some amount can be removed by your body, but depending on the amount is can also be stored, so it’s best to err on the side of caution.

No way can I delaminate a set of molds, pick up my injector and shoot again. After I shoot a set, I have to purge my injectors, pull the runners from the blending block and start over. It’s a slow process with hand injector and hand molds.

I don't know why I didn't think of this, but as a pest control guy, I get all my liquid chemicals from UPS. Of course, you can clearly hear/feel the liquid in the box. Probably won't with colorant.

I’m over 44 years working for USPS never heard of a clerk confiscating a parcel due to liquid. Hazardous liquid maybe. I’m not even sure they’ll confiscate a kilo of weed if they do they’d keep it for themselves. So I sent a question to a friend of mine that handles that stuff. Here’s the answer. Non hazardous- ( anything that won’t ignite ) … hopefully not bio hazardous either - if smelly — be sure wrapped well/ double- non breakable container.. packed well.. don’t want anything to leak cause suspicion… when asked “ liquid , fragile, perishable, potentially hazardous, perfume , lithium battery, or mercury? You say yes - liquid- then they ask what kind ? So parcel should be given fragile sticker… and non hazardous.@

Your eyes were fine. And yes you were right, the PO will ask if you have liquid, anything hazardous, etc. Ibelieve there are stickers they use that say Fragile. Liquid, Handle with care. Or something along those lines. A few years back I sold off a bunch of mold, glitter colorant . Shipped it from the northeast to the midwest. The liquid made it there fine.The buyer was not happy about glitter being everywhere. The box was crushed when he received it. And smashed the plastic bottles of glitter.

Issue is to achieve the weight you want the mix needs to be like 90%+ Tungsten powder to epoxy. The mixture is too thick to pour into a cavity for a bait. For example the 1/4oz shakeyhead Do-It mold cavity I tried made about a 1/16oz Tungsten epoxy head. They actually came out great but way under weight for what I wanted. Allen

Thank you!
