    How about a torch? A quick run under a hot torch could melt the burrs from casting and make it all smooth. Other than that I agree with the small case and using a grinding wheel of some sort, maybe on an adjustable speed drill. Is easy to chuck in a dremel bit into a descent drill.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Plan on using some wheel buffs or scotch bright wheels on the Dremel for this. Wife is picking me up some of the buffs today to try out and if that works I am buying the scotch bright wheels on ebay where I can get them pretty cheap.

    I think me and a torch would melt the lead right off the hooks, LOL! I even did that before leaving one in the fire off my alcohol lamp too long.

    Also with this new Dremel I can set it at what ever speed I want so to not take too much off, LOL!

    The reloading tumbler with its media will leave a residue unless you get untreated stuff. Wanting to remove errant material I would use walnut media. I have a tumbler and if I can get some walnut shell media I will run a few thru the process and let you know how it works. It would be as easy as put it in tonite and remove it in the morning or a few hours with no one by one labor at all. If any one has any walnut shell media let me know and I'll buy enough to do the test. Please PM me as I sometimes don't get here to read up on y'all.

    Default mask

    Skip: By all means use a mask. Remember not only are you going to deal with Silica dust but also with Heavy metals. We don't want you going crazy and have all your teeth fall out and your liver to fail. Please be carefull. Its hard enough having to cast lead heads but then to breath in the fine dust of it when cleaning them up.
