Hi Jamie,
I think I solved the problem ... I found some high fire clay that had dried out
but wasn't fired, melted some lead into a place I had carved out. It worked
great holding the lead in shape and didnt crack at all. So I am going to make a
larger mold useing the 2x4 size bricks and see how those turn out. I will let ya
know how it turns out.
John
