I recently purchased a Do-It mold for casting "removable" split-shot. I have tried many attempts with different types of lead (wheel weight, mixed, and pure soft lead flashing) and I am having the hardest time with getting a quality cast out of this mold. Most of the casts are not complete and the ones that do come out OK are not as "sharp" with regards to profile. I have tried maybe 10 different casting sessions for these and only have a handful of splitshot that I would consider using or giving to friends.

I really want this to work but am on the verge of just giving up on these and just buying commercial split shot - would be a shame though as I have spend $30 on this mold :-(

Any advise would be really appreciated
