I ruined my Do-it mold and need to know, is there any material I could use to fill-in the screwed up area that will hold up to the heat of the lead? Thanks.

Location: In the slop!
Brad, where is the damage? I might be able to weld it and rework the area. You might post a picture. I'm not sure if there would be any other options.

Get some J Weld from a hardware store. It will hold up for quite a while. Works for me.

JB Weld might work. I need to fill in an area where I drilled. Thanks.

Hot sure how handy you are with MAPP Gas but you can get braizing sticks from Low's and Home Depot to fill it back in with new material. USE CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the ideas. I took the easy route, I had a guy cut me a custom mold.
