I wonder if wheel weights will go back to lead?

Greenies will never allow it. Fe is the next big standard...even MORE!

This Zn shortage will cause price increases in a ton of stuff we buy and use every day! And I am not talking about wheel weights or casting boolits.

Kinda serious!

I should have posted the OP in purple. I've quit chasing WW because there are now more steel than zinc. And Yes, a lot of things will get more expensive. I can't even begin to think about all the things that use zinc.

I don't bother watching videos much.

Did anyone else try to read the transcript of this.

Wow, automatic transcription worked real well.

Old news. The price has been tanking for 6 months. The video was from last year. http://www.kitcometals.com/charts/zinc_historical_large.html

The scrap yard near me offered me a whopping $.06 a pound. I think I might wait awhile before selling them

I guess it'll be another reason to drive up the price of new brass.
