Just wondering if anybody knows where to get spare Pull pins for Do-It no roll mold 3-4-5 oz. Casted some sinkers yesterday and had to use the pin from my egg sinker mold.

When my pins get bent or broken I replace them by making more.

Get some brazing rod in appropriate size and attach a wood handle by drilling the wood and bending the rod after putting it thru a drilled hole.

The lead doesn't stick to the bronze and they are cheap so I make several.

Dave

I cast sinkers today so I took a picure of my pull pins.



The green handle is from Do-it $5.75
The rest are made from brazing rod---less than 25 cents.

Mine are a lil bent and worn from trying to use pliers when I was first learning but I lost em and ended up finding the lost pins in Flatcatnightmare's (Guppy) garage a couple days after I had cast enough to last me well into spring time. :oops:  [smilie=a_doh.gif]
But I think I am still gonna try and make some new and improved ones out of the bronze brazing rods.
I love saving money and that will give me somthing catfish related to do when Im trapped in the house pretending to do chores! :lol:

I tried that,my fingers were too fat and didnt fit and I got burnt really bad too so thanks for that tip Pat. :P  :lol:  [smilie=a_jester.gif]  [smilie=a_partyguy.gif]  [smilie=poke.gif] J/K  :lol:

when I skim the slag off the top I tap it directly onto wood.It leaves a mark,but dosent seem like it would be hot long enough to disolve the wood toothpics.But I like that! :grin:

Thanks for the pics Katfish,those look just as good or better than the Do-It ones.I really like the ones you dont need a pull pin for,but not having eggs and no-rolls would be like trying to eat a sandwich without bread. :lol:

Yep you can buy the 3/16 welding rods (without the flux coating) for less than a buck a piece and can make about 6 or so from em,,,,next info, to keep your pins from sticking and making them easy to pull, clean them well after each pouring session with a green scouring pad and spray them down with Pam cooking spray,,,I lay em down on a few paper towels then roll em up after spraying in the paper towel and store till the next use
