    Molds for shipping and storing ingots?

    Have a pretty large inventory of lead ingots, 3K+, and plenty of "ore", another 1K, to process. Have been using round muffin ingots for about 95% of my production. Thinking of selling some lead as I process my intake and wondering about what ingot best for packing in the typical flat rate boxes? Where would these ingots molds be available? I have seen the molds done with the angle and channel iron. Is there a commercial source for them? Or get made locally by a metal shop/welder etc...? I did a survey of the vendor section but didn't see any ingot molds, did I miss something? Plus better ingots would stack/store better than the muffin ingots. Any information appreciated. Thanks, 10

    You might contact this member and see if he would be interested in making more of them. As I recall, these would fill the SFRB and then pack them in the MFRB. Still have to watch the max weight issue though.

    I've heard wood will work. Figure out what dimensions you will need and make a form. It won't last for ever but it'll work for awhile.
