Well I don't see much of this on THR. So thought I would share.

Seconds attempt. (First attempt was with a homemade shot dropper it worked ok but not this well)

Making #5 shot. Plugged one of the dripper holes because I couldn't keep up with fluid change and drink my adult beverage at the same time with 2 nozzles going.

Lead is 2.4%tin-2.6%antimony-95%lead. (Roughly) 12BHN water dropped.

Turned out pretty well, did 100 lbs in 2 hours.

Change that water out with liquid nitrogen and the molten lead out with a nice custard and you've got yourself some Dippin' Dots.
