Ric670 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I am sure there is something somewhere about melting lead that is laden with some tin within it somewhere on this site...but i can't seem to locate anything. My question to the rest of you out there is can i use this hardened lead in my melting pot...i have the standard electric melter by do it molds for pouring jigs and especially spinnerbaits. Any help from you boys out there would be greatly appreciated. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeves Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yes, you can melt it in your melting pot. It will be a harder alloy for pouring and better used on larger size baits, 3/4oz and larger. For the smaller baits it is almost a MUST that you use softer lead to hand pour if you want to get complete pours and prevent you from becoming too frustrated and want to kill something. Do-It even states on most of their molds to use 'soft lead'. There are many threads on this forum that address this problem. Good luck.
