Your not nearly saving as much as you should be using that type of mould when you take into account how much they charge for the screw in bits and the gass you use to heat the lead... Me thinks you should make friends with a few more people preferably the new friends should work on building sites,
If you dont make friends easy then you should pop along to your friendly scrap yard dealer and pay a lot less also i would dump that mould you have in favour of one that you can put any wire into this way you save on bits and you can use soft or stiff wires that your new friends find around the site,
I get my lead free and was thinking about getting the same mould that you use but when i worked it out i felt i wasnt going to save much after buying all the bits so i sacked the idea and saved a lot more money as i dont need to keep buying bits and paying postage.
