 Casting moldsI have borrowed 3 molds for casting heads. New thing for me to try. I don't wanna waste time casting the wrong size heads, thus coming here to pick the minds of the brain trust. can do 1/0-5/0 hooks in same mold. Which sizes do I need the most and least. The other 2 molds are for spoons. Gonna see what happens. 
 
 Where does everyone get their lead from? Ideally free is the best option but where should I source it from if purchasing?
 
 Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

 I am going to do something different on a couple of attempts with this with plans for a bubble trailer also. It could be the next big thing. just need to choose my color right I think
