Individual refill tubs are available in the full range of 9 sizes from LG right down to No10. These allow you to top up your dispensers or, if you use lots making up rigs etc, to keep larger quantities ready to hand. These small tubs are also usually much more convenient in the drawers of seatboxes especially cross drawers etc.
The larger sizes LG – No 6 are a Non Toxic alloy (so comply with UK law) and have a grey coating which slightly cushions them. This also reduces unwanted flash. They can easily be positioned by finger pressure and the recess in the slot allows you to open them up, reposition or move them easily with a fingernail.
Smaller sizes No 8 and No 10 are made from super soft lead (also complying with UK law). Being so soft they can be positioned by finger pressure depending upon the thickness of line being used but, for a better, more even application of pressure, using small, narrow jawed pliers such as Jewellery pliers work extremely well and these are readily available cheaply from multiple sources.
A guide to approximate sizes is:
- LG – 3.0g
- SSG – 1.6g
- AAA – 0.8g
- BB – 0.4g
- No1 – 0.3g
