Soft Mesh Weights

very good product

Plopped this in an outdoor vase to steady it on the table. Works great.

Hard to write a raving review about a pound of lead shot. I use it fill the hollow handles of wood turning tools in my shop. The added weight stabilizes the tool

This items fit the need excellently.

I make leather bag weights to weigh down my craft materials.

I used this shot to fill my handlebar ends to create a dead-blow affect - and it works!

I use this for melting down to add weight to Pinewood Derby cars. I host a workshop for my Cub Scout Pack and used all 5 pounds this year. It’s the cheapest way to get lead online that I’ve found.Good: It’s new, clean, small (smaller than BBs) and uniform in size, so it’s easy to measure out and weigh what you need. Also, it’s coated in antimony, so until it’s melted down, I don’t have to worry as much about my boys touching raw lead.Bad: Being coated in antimony means it is harder than pure lead. It takes a bit more heat to get the initial melting point. Not a huge deal, but you can tell a difference going from these to, say, split shot fishing sinkers (which are much more expensive by weight, mind you). It isn’t a deal breaker though.I bought a cheap steel serving spoon and pinched the ‘nose’ of it to allow a more precise pour. I heat what I need right in the spoon and pour into the cavities I’ve drilled in the cars. Nice tidy weight that allows for the point of balance to be quite far back near the rear wheels. Tip: paint the finished pour with clear fingernail polish once it’s cooled so your kid isn’t touching the lead when handling his/her car.

I didn’t have issues with the residue some other reviews mentioned.
