so you want a radius on the bottom of your belly wgt.? Why? do you drill your belly wgt holes with a radius tool. Just curious.

I don't really drill many belly weights, I do make some wood plugs but mostly I make hard plastic plugs these days. On the plugs that have lead in them it is embedded before I pour. Example of recent stuff shown below.

I have not tried a wood mold for lead but it doesn't burn or smoke like hell?
