From what I've heard you can spray Pam on the coat hangers and it will help release the lead from the coat hanger. Make sure the coat hanger doesn't have any bends or burrs that might stop or slow it from coming out of the lead.

I know of one person that uses smaller dia wire, because you loose weight with the coat hanger. It's all about building a better mouse trap!!!

Try this; Make 1/2 round in one side of the mold. Align that to a flat raised area on the opposing mold half. When you demold the lead you have a half round piece with a flat key way down the center. Put two pices in the plug so the keyways make the through hole.

This is much easier than trying to keep wire aligned on centet in the mold.

I pour my own but if you can buy the size you need just buy it. I now only pour what I can't buy. It seems expensive but after a hour of pouring/wearing stupid big gloves/mess ups and all the other trouble I wish I would have just spent the 5 bucks.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
