Lead Casting Question
I have found that when adding recycled (scrap) lead to my melting pot that a
higher temp is needed to keep it melted. Also the top third of the melted metal is 'slushy'. Is there a way to add good lead and mix the two back to a workable metal? Is there an additive that can be used for the same (tin, bismuth, flux???) Jay Wirth Renaissance Ink 1613 Rita Rd Vestal, NY 13850 www.renaissanceink.net 607 748 4665

Lead Casting Question
I have used wheel weights for casting in the past, and I just got it really
hot (in well ventilated area) and skimmed off the garbage on the surface. -- ** FREE Fishing Lures ** Weekly drawing ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com "JWirth4702" wrote in message ...
