belly weights

I turned off some small needles this morning and dont want to use the belly weights I picked up from NJ tackle-they are too big. Is there anyone out there that sell 1/4" x 1/4" belly weight slugs or anything close?


Thanks

go to a gun shop and buy some lead shot. 00, #1, #2 etc. Flatten with a hammer if necessary to fit hole....

I have a lead pot if you want to pour them in.
You're welcome to come over and do it.

hold a piece of lead with plyers then torch it so it drips in the hole you drilled.
thats what i do.
then pop it back out and glue it back in, then file off the extra.

And if before you pour it you use a 1/4 inch dovetail bit to make the bottom of the hole bigger it'll nevah come out.

I just finished a batch of small needles and used the .25 ounce NJTackle tail weight cut into thirds with a pair of snips. Next time I'll pour them, but this worked...

Spence, can use a ladle from plumbing supply house, (Home Cheapo maybe?)
Used for setting toilet flange with lead, heat with torch and pour

As for dovetail idea, I don't get how you can plunge the bit without opening surface to max diameter??? Is it me?

I was wondering the same thing, that's a pretty neat trick.

Tinman includes these 1/4" OD with the new kits. I'll ask if he can supply them separately and get them up on the site.
