Thread: cleaning lead for casting

Well I got to the bottom of my first bucket of wheel weights.
Not all wheel weights melt,the ones that look like they are painted silver and some of the stick-ons.
My boy tels me they are an alloy,mixed with antitomy to make the lead hard.
With the next batch I think I will boil the whole lot up at once in a steel bucket to ladle the rubbish off.
It was quite a big job.
My pan bong pourer works great,will be good with just pure lead in it rather than all the snot.
I got a star sinker triple mould yesterday,sinker moulds from USA are in the country.
