Lead Pouring Molds

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to find out what material have any of you used to make lead molds with. Aluminum is clearly number one material but if you dont have it what do you think the best alternative should be. I have been pouring using wood (clear maple) and that has worked ok so far. I wanted to try some bondo to see how that would work.


 

  I made some umbrella rigs using some of the putty that gets rock hard like steel. That worked well also. Any input will be helpful. Thanks.

I guess there are many opinions.  For me it is platinum cure mold making silicone with

at least 50 shore hardness.  Easier pouring than aluminum.  Easier to modify.  The best details.

For what its worth, most jewelry cast in silicone molds.  I tried bondo, which is the cheapest, but had problems with warping and then leaking.
