This item is easy to use if you have any experience in pouring lead. Be sure to use proper safety equipment and techniques. If you have no experience please just spend the extra money and buy the lead already casted. The mould is rough, but it is very easy to release the lead and works well. The weights do not have to be beautiful to be effective. If you are like me and lose a lot of weight with students then this is definitely a cheaper alternative to purchasing weight.

OK for basics.
Used one of these originally but it developed a crack through the handle and bottom of the mould. Had to discard it.

mold
By Michael Subis
from Big Island, Hawaii
This mold was a lot of fun - if you like work projects - great project for a Saturday off. I melted 2 old lead batteries on my propane colman stove with a couple old pans and made 40 lbs of dive weights. Has a little learning curve but overall so easy a caveman could do it.Pretty difficult to get precise weight but I got a good assortment. I tried several times to fill completely full and never got a weight over 3.8 lbs.
Works well, no stick.

About Me Beginner
Cast about 80lbs worth of weight with this already. Works like a charm. Best to cast one weight first to warm it up, then do the real run. Takes about 5 minutes to cool if you put a fan on it. Only issue is that it can be a little trick to get the weights exactly to the pound, and not over or under. I just weighed everything on a kitchen scale and wrote the weights on the lead with a permanent marker. Saved a ton of money over buying weights in the shop.
Good Mold for the money

easy to expell weights from mold. recommend not rapping to hard when hot, unit could crack. draw back is not leaving a beveled edge on pour side. one should bevel to eliminate sharp edges.
Good mold

Product does exactly what I bought it for. You need a good source of lead to pour, though, I'd suggest a minimum of 40 lbs of hot lead, and warm the mold thoroughly before pouring to minimize wrinkling. Also, a mold release agent, or a thorough candle smoking, as it takes 8-10 good hard raps against a solid object to get dive weights to pop out of the mold. Product is quite sturdy, and I couldn't ask for a better mold for the job, price was definitely fair, too. 100% satisfied with this purchase.
