    [QUOTE=DrNip;3593204]I customized the 1/16 and 1/8 oz when they came out to hold a wire keeper. Jacob's are the bast lead molds I've used. Many complaints though of people not being able to get the barb molds to fill completely. This is due to them just running lead across the gates like you can with Do-it's. I find this practice sloppy. I insert the spout of the pot into each cavity of every lead mold I pour. This fills the cavity completely. Comes in real handy when you have a small head with say a wire keeper, guard or whatever in it. There is also a trick to painting the heads that was taught to me by JW. Takes practice but once you get it down it is fast and beats wrapping aluminum around the swivel like some do. After I heat the head I quickly dip the tip of the swivel into water just for a second. You will hear a sizzle. Then dip in paint. You will have minimal paint if any on the swivel. Like I said takes practice so be prepared. Here are some I've made.

    0 or 1. 0 can be tedious.
