I don't think I had this problem, I cant remember it anyway. You may also want to over fill the pipe with lead so that it pours down the side a bit. This will make it cover the edge and should stay in better. Some of mine have started to fall out

Maybe it's better to pour the lead in two or three sessions, that way
the second pour will fill the gaps created by the cooling of the first pour.

I will just have to try and find out how it will go.

I'm planning on using an 8'' diameter milling jar with 22mm diameter millingmedia.
I think this is about the right size.

Try using soldering flux? It should bond with the copper then.

Sasman,

When you pour your ball media, where did you acquire the tin? And I'm thinking you live in the UK so the offer to sell off some of your antimony is probably a mute point as I am this side of the pond.

Oh well,

Shane
