basscat28 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Has anyone tried pouring with either of these using do-it molds or lee melting pots? I have a dealer who carries it by the pound now and I'd like to give it a try. It's ALOT more expensive but it has better vibration one wire baits and it's better for the environment.

21xdc Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I poured a bunch of drop shot weights with bismuth for a guy living in Massachusetts where there is a lead ban. It poured really easy, But it was so brittle, It would break easily when I removed the sprues. The guy I sent them to, Said they would break if he hit a dock or bridge piling etc... I would not use it for spinnerbaits or jigs personally.... But I don't have a lead ban here in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 With the Bismuth you wouldn't need or want a Lee pot. Just some hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you get the correct % of bismuth and tin, you will have less breakage and better painting capabilities. You must do trial and error to get this, as I cannot give you that info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
