I would opt for fine lead shot, and glue. Saves the hassle, and
problems, of melting the lead, pouring, burns, lead fumes, etc. Or, if
you have a large chunk of lead, you could just use a rasp, and make lead
filings. Or, if you have a sheet of lead, you could just use a hold
punch, and cut out lead slugs the size of the hold. If you wanted to go
with a solid chunk, you could buy lead wire, like that used in swaging
bullets, or even use shotgun slugs. You could also use steel, or iron,
just cut a bolt or rod, into sections. Old washers, nuts, lots of
options, if you just think about it, and I would prefer most, over
melting lead..
