Default Lead for hollow keel

I scored 350 kg of lead over the weekend for free from various tires
centres. I found outwhat the trick is.... go to tire centres where they sell
a lot of mag wheels... they use adhesive backing instead of clips to attach
to the wheel. I still have weights with clips but not as many. In the mortal
words of Homer Simpson...YoooHooo!!!!
They are to go int a hollow fin keel for a hartley 21. Should I fust pour
them in and cover with epoxy or should I melt the lead and poor into the
keel?
