Where to buy lead weights online???

[andah]

I'd like some 2kg blocks, that are not fluro coloured, without paying extortionate postage charges for (I know its heavy but £60 p&p is stupid!)

Any suggestions?

Thanks

How about buying a mould and making your own? You can melt scrap lead down in an old saucepan on a gas stove or just on your oven hob, just make sure you've got all the windows open and that you warm the mould before pouring to be sure there is no moisture in it. Water + hot lead in a confined space is not a good mix.

Would be much cheaper.

Thanks Magpie - I might do just that. It begs the next question tho......where might I get a mould??? :hmm

Used to have a link to a shop that sold loads but can't find it now, will try to remember to have a look at home later.
