This is my "quick&dirty" way: just put 5g or 80gr of pellets inside my hammer, place it over a flame and wait till the lead is melt down. Let it cool on a flat, regular surface and you are done. Also remember that, if you want to remove the added lead, you just need to turn it upside down and warm it u til the lead fell off. If you want to try with a door pin, remember to polish pin, spring and hammer. A nice chamfered hammer entrance will be good, also.Excellent info - thanks!
So, if I buy a couple spare V1 hammers from RTI and add some weight to them, how much weight would you suggest to start - that will make a noticeable difference without being “too heavy”? 10 grams? More?
Also, I’ve never melted pellets. Could you simply drop the crushed pellets into the hammer and then heat the end of the hammer with a butane torch?
