Scuba Forum / Scuba Equipment / September 2006Weight belt preparation
I'd like to prepare a weight belt based on small lead balls. I'm aware of the gas problem involved with melting lead. I tried dropping slowly melted lead into a bowl w water, but result w long & sharp lead pieces. Do you have an idea how to create these small balls ? thnx & regards, hava > I'd like to prepare a weight belt based on small lead balls. > I'm aware of the gas problem involved with melting lead. > I tried dropping slowly melted lead into a bowl w water, but result w > long & sharp lead pieces. > Do you have an idea how to create these small balls ? Buy them in a gun store that sells reloading supplies. Shot comes in a lot of different sizes. Trying to make lead balls is kind of like trying to make your own light bulbs. Pour the lead from a greater height like about 50 ft.

Imagine yourself on a date with Janet Reno. That would work for me. How small do you want them? Lee |
