- Yup. The title says it! I created a "How-To" video for making lead jigheads with plaster of paris!!!! Super excited for this one. I hope everyone that watches this video is just as excited as I am. You can use this process to mold nearly any jighead size and shape.
Materials used in this video (and some that weren't, but useful) below:
amzn.to/3FYUmZQ - DAP Plaster of Paris
amzn.to/40oBCLz - Perfect Cast Plaster (5x stronger than plaster)
amzn.to/3lXzV8G - Sargent Art Plastilina Non-Hardening Modeling Clay
amzn.to/3lLfBYm - 99.9% Pure Lead Ingots

Best mold making video I've seen lately, thank you.
Yeeewww! There are plenty more to watch. Check out our "How-To" playlist 😉
Plaster Caster!!
This was one of the cleanest work I've seen. Great job :)!
EXCELLENT! Thanks for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps.
Looks like I’ll robbing my kids legos and playdough for a bit haha thanks for this video! My wallet appreciates it!
Excellent! Or you can buy them on amzn.
Hi, thanks for the video & information
After looking at some metal pre-fabed molds i've found a modification for the mold, cutting the mold at a point along the lengths of the shafts of the hooks so you could accommodate for different hook sizes (1, 1/0, 2, 2/0, 3, 3/0 & H's etc) as long as the diameter of the shaft of the hook stays the same. The hook & barb part would be outside of the mold (doesn't have to be in the plaster mold ) when you pour the lead.
Hope that makes sense
Cheers Steve
Oz
That is correct.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Good produkt.
Cheers m8.
Thanks! Hopefully it was helpful for you!
Great video, thank you
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
From the point this mold is right you could go on to use this as the forms to make ALUMINIUM molds from
Very good information. Thanks
You're welcome! Have fun!
Thanks 😊
You're welcome! More plaster diy for fishing coming soon!
Great vids mate all the way from aus……. question have you ever made a full soft plastic lure mould from silicon
Thanks and form Aus? AWESOME!!! No, I have not used silicone. Plaster is so cost-effective and works great for me, for both lead and plastics. Silicone is a bit more expensive.
How long will the mold last? Is the any showing of cracks or stress? Thanks
The mold will last quite a while as long as you're careful. I do recommend using the Perfect Cast plaster for longer, more durable mold, especially for pouring lead. When molding plastics for lures (swimbaits, flukes, etc), the temperature is much lower, it will last much longer if well taken care of.
Dove posso comprarlo il macchinario per fondere il piombo come questo del video ?

How many sets of legos did you use for the first set and the second. 3-6 hard to see.
I think you mean layers, but I could be wrong. It all depends on what you molding. When molding for anything lead, you want the plaster mold to be thick - to hold up to the 624 degrees. I would say to 2x the thickness of the plaster to the lead you are molding. So, it I'm molding a 1/4oz jighead (approx. 1/3" in diameter), I'm making sure the top and bottom plaster pieces are up to 1" thick each. So the entire mold, for 1/4oz jigheads, would be about 2" thick. Again, it all varies with the size of the lead piece you are making a mold of. If the plaster is too thin, the heat of the lead will cause it to get super brittle and break. Hope that helps.
what's the machine called
Lee 10lb Lead Melting Pot:

I have added the updated links to the description for the melting pot and jighooks used for near shore (thin wire) and offshore (thick wire). Both are Victory hooks.
Hi! Is that hot liquid tin or aluminum?
Neither. "Lead"heads...
Is it possible to do it with silicone instead of plaster?
I haven't done a LOT of research on all the silicones available and their heat resistances, butI've done a fair amount. The highest rated silicone I have found is the Mold Max 60, but....it only has a max temp rating of 560 degrees F/294 degrees C. With lead having a min melting point of 621.5 degrees F, it would melt the Mold Max 60. At 621.5, that's just the minimum. For best pouring results, mine is heated to about 850 degrees. Even regular RTV solicone is only rated to 600 degrees F.
Thank you so much
@@StartFishingToday Could always melt pewter which is lower temp.
Pewter starts to soften at about 471° and fully melted to pour at 620° - 645°F. At that temp, it's basically the same as lead at 624°F. Also, a pewter ingot is anywhere from 50% - 80% more costly than lead.
Did you use DAP plaster?
Pease see the description for products used. Most of your questions will be answered there 😉
Hey man you should start selling some of the swim baits you make I would buy some
Thanks for the compliment. However, at this time, retail is not in the list of top focuses. Thank you for watching!
