Neither do any of mine. Steady hand and flow. I cook on a gas camp stove (very hot) and use a ladle.

yes thats it krow. mould is not hot enough.. i have found adding printers lead  mixed in helps to make them harder and more heavy. as far as i have found..should really weigh them to find out]]> Sat, 22 Dec 2012 00:59:55 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86159&PID=1229648&title=sinkers#1229648 <![CDATA[sinkers : I make heaps and have lots of...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=86159&PID=1229611&title=sinkers#1229611 Author: krow

I make heaps and have lots of moulds. I'd have a guess and say the lead isn't hot enough or/and the mould isn't hot enough. I heat the mould over the lead for a while. Once you've made a few in the mould it will be warm enough to keep going. When you stop to melt more lead leave the last sinker/s in the mould to help keep it hot.

Is the mould closed tightly? are you trying to pour it to fast? is the lead heated up nice n runny?
should have no problems..keep the stream of molten lead at a steady rate, like sex aim for the hole and keep it nice and steady do not rush it...
