I am going to give up a little secret if you want to use lead and you are going to buy it find a plumbing supply store near you. Not a hardware store diddy bop into the store and ask for lead wool, now you can shape it any way you wish without using heat if they do not have in-stock tell them to order it from the warehouse -
I use the plastic ones for now tandy and the stecksstore have them for around $2.20
