rubber moulds for making sinkers?

[damons33]

gidday fella's im after some of the rubber to make a mould for egg style sinkers(maybe someone has patented the "egg"shape apart from birds and lizards!??!!!)any one done this before as i remember casting soldiers as a kid in black rubber moulds and haven't seen egg style sinker moulds in alloy anywhere.at over a $1 each in getting sick of paying so much money for a painted sinker i could cast myself-ohh and tear drop style 8oz and 12oz sinkers.

Hi damons 33
Mate i dont know if this will help you but what some of the guys down this way do if they cant find the mould they want is to make there own out of plaster of paris.

hope that helps

Hi
I have made numerous moulds out of plaster of paris and find they work better if you make them about a week beforeyou need them so they dry properly, i found if you use them to soon the molten lead splaters, sinkers look rough and splatering lead burns blaze
