Does anyone have any experience casting their own P weight? I have a DSS SS back plate with no STA and currently dive with about 2 or 3lb on a belt. I'm thinking of casting a small P weight to fit into the bottom of the channel in the plate.
What is the normal way of attaching the weight to the plate? Any tips on making a mould or casting it? I have searched a bit but only found a thread from about 10 years ago, all the links were dead...
A friend of mine has been smelting and casting different metals for a few years now so I'm aware and respectful of the safety issues involved in dealing with hot metal.
Any advice, tips or photos would be greatly appreciated!
