Leaders & tubes
This category covers the small essentials that make your mold setup work properly. Guide pins, tubes and glues help with correct alignment, clean passages (especially for inline systems), and fast assembly for leads and feeders. You’ll find steel/sheet inserts, PVC and rubber tubes in various sizes, super glue, and grease for guide pins—the stuff you don’t want to be missing mid-production.

In lead casting, the mold is the foundation—but guide pins and tubing are the mechanics that make the casting usable. If the alignment is off or the passage isn’t clean, even a great mold won’t save the result. This category is built to support your lead molds with the parts that decide how smooth (and repeatable) your production will be.
What you’ll typically find here (and why it matters):
-
Steel guide pins for lead molds – for clean alignment and consistent channels.
-
Sheet inserts for specific molds (e.g., Cheburashka) – where profile accuracy is key.
-
Tapered guide / tapered rubber tube for inline molds – for a clean run-through and proper inline performance.
-
PVC tubing (various diameters) – a reliable choice for feeder builds and other assemblies.
-
Super glue for lead work – fast assembly and quick fixes.
-
Grease / petroleum jelly for guide pins – makes work easier and helps protect the inserts in regular production.
How it fits into the Lead Casting workflow:
-
Choose a lead mold for your target setup (carp, feeder/method, inline, Cheburashka…).
-
Add the correct guide pins / tubing to match the mold design.
-
Cast, clean up, and finish assembly with glue and small accessories.
-
For finishing, use lead coatings and a fluid bed if you want a durable surface.
-
And always use proper protective gear.
Practical tip: on most SAF products—especially lead molds—you’ll find matching guide pins, tubing and glue in the related & similar products row, so you can add everything to your cart while choosing the mold.
