How to make sinkers: 1. Ensure you are wearing protective clothing and all care must be taken when heating and pouring lead. 2. Put scrap lead into saucepan and heat until molten (lead will normally melt at 650 degrees). 3. Once lead is molten use a cooking spoon to take away any impurities that have risen to the top. 4. Take your coat hanger wire (wire is only used when making sinkers that require a hole in the centre) and place within the mould. 5. Using the tongs grab tour mould carefully and have the pouring cavity facing you. 6. Pour molten lead into mould until cavity is full. 7. It is recommended the mould be preheated before use. 8. Once mould has been heated up and your lesd is fully molten and clean you can proceed to pour the lead in to the cavity. 9. Wait 10 seconds and using pliers pull wire out then proceed to open mould. 10. Using your pliers snip the excess lead of the top of the sinkers. 11. Good luck and remember to always take care. 12.When disposing of unwanted lead please take note of your local authority about appropriate methods. Warning: 1. Lead is a toxic material 2. Use PPE when handing moulds 3. Use dry moulds as water can cause molten lead to explode

"FAIR"
I give this mold a three stars because, if it was shipped with handles and a pull pin i didn't mind paying the extra. A darn good mold but for the absence of vital accessories i class it as "FAIR"

Functional, but definitely cheap.
These molds work OK. They are very cheaply made, and the sinkers require a lot of trimming. There’s no clamps or closures included, so you need to have your own clamps.

Unsafe
The mold had multiple cracks in it when I received it not sure if it will be safe to use.
