what volume is 1kg of lead?

make sure the mould is bone dry. if there is a drop of water in there it will boil and the pressure of the steam will force the lead back out of the mould and onto your face / arms. <- that's the voice of experience talking btw.

be careful with this stuff, when I was making fishing leads I used to use a camping gas stove and an old pan, warming up the mould first seemed to let the molten metal flow into the mould more easily.

Also make sure you don't breath the fumes as they are toxic so make sure you have flipping good ventilation....
