That's pretty neat to make your own mold like that. Nice looking tie.

That's a great idea, and one that never crossed my mind. I've seen some cool things done with bondo but that is a first. Good looking finished jig too. Looks like fox tail. I can barely find time to get on here much less find time to experiment. Got to change that.

Robdog - if it's a Lee pot check with Lee and check out their 1/2 price replacement program. Mine were 24 and 27 years old and for the cost of one pot they replaced both of them with brand new units. You send them 1/2 the cost of a new one in the catalouge at LEE. Call them first!!! and tell them what's going on.
(262) 673-3075. They'll ask you a few questions then tell you where to send it (but I listed it below) and ask them how much it should be. They'll ask for a credit or debit card but I called mine in after they got my pots. Put Tracking and Insurance on the box with the melter your sending back!!!!!!!

very interesting indeed, just curious how the bondo is holding up after that many pours? Great inexpensive idea and the finish project was excelent looking.
