I made the big ones too. Thanks for the info Tony. I will put it to good use. I am making some Bluestreak A-40 type lips tonite as they are different than the A-40 lips available right now, not a lot but different.

Question for you. How much lead did you put in the belly of the one you made? A big chunk up past the thru wire?

No, If I go thru the wire I pour it in little blasts so it don't go everywhere.
I don't remember how much lead.A good sized chunk.I use whats around an beat it to shape.I do remember it came out heavier than I originally wanted.I messed up the first coat of epoxy an had to go 2 coats which also made it heavier.But it was ok.
Nice lips..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
