robbor Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Does lead shrink when it hardens??? Im thinking about a square sided shallow mold and wondering if the lead will pull away enough to come out fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counting-empties Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yes , it shrinks slightly as it cools , the softer it is the more it shrinks . You also have to remember what ever you pour it into will expand and contract with the heat as well . Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
