modify this mold

I got this thing some years ago and I want to change it back to the way it was by filling in the eye holes.
I also want to shorten it and fill the collars so it pours between 3/8 and 1/2 ounce with pure lead.
It doesn't help that whomever modified it did a really bad job getting the eyes even.
Thankfully I only paid like $5 for it some many years ago.
Can I actually do this? Is it worth it to do all this modifying instead of buying a mold?

Or is this mold actually worth keeping as is? The only thing I have done with it is to fill it with hot glue and that didn't go as well as hoped.

There are two ways that I have modified molds JBWeld and high temp silicone. Both work but the silicone is easier and requires no mixing. I get mine at Harbor Freight Sales.

I got that part, just need how. The eyes I am concerned with them coming out when I pour them.
I could just grind them off or just them off.

I would fill the molds eyes and collar and mod to what you want. You only have to grind/dremal one time as opposed to every jig. Plus I think grinding lead is more hazardous.

I would use JB Weld in the eye sockets. It’s not coming out once cured. High temp silicone I don’t know. Never worked with it.

Looks fine to me just the way it is.....:Rofl

Just need to find a cross eyed fish to take them

So JB weld will stay in the eye things without coming out when one pours the lead?

Yes

Clean it with acetone first.

Dayne said the right thing there, if you get a clean bond you should not have any problems with JB Weld. I will ad that if you have a problem socket that falls out just drill and put a pin in it then re-JB Weld.

The JB one was drilled too deep. I filled it and redrilled it. That was 20 years ago. The second is a banana that I modified for shaky head.
