Lead for jigs

Although the companies that make jig molds advise not to use tire weights for making jigs, I've been doing it for a few years now without any problems. Just make sure to pre-heat your molds so that the lead fills the cavities completely.
Check local tire shops. They will usually give you old weights for free, especially if you normally buy your tires from them.
Good luck.
