robbor Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I made a master for a weight out of aluminum and then made a mold to pour a few and get the actual weight, which was 9 ounces. Now any body have any ideas on putting the number on my weight? Im going to make a new mold out of silicone so if i stick some type of number to it it will need to be able towithstand 35odegrees F in the oven.http://onfinite.com/libraries/1100807/a10.jpg http://onfinite.com/libraries/1101051/a10.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 robbor, if I understand you correctly, you poured a lead weight, and now you want to imprint or imbed a number on it correct? If so you can get the metal number stamps (they also make letters), and place the number on the weight, then lightly hit the number stamp with a hammer. It will permanently mark, or imbed your number in the lead. If you want it deeper, just hit the stamp harder with the hammer. Lead is soft, and you should have no problem.

robbor Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Actually I wanted to mark the aluminum master for when I make the silicone mold. I have number stamps but they are small and probably would not stand out well once lead is poured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
