Nice, but be aware of zinc....

I'd be more scared of water.
start from a cold pot.

Melted a few myself from a neighbor a few weeks ago, they were completely dry ( out in the NC sun ), popped and fizzed a little but no tinsel fairy. I also recommend a cold pot. I knew what could happen as was prepared. But still, things do happen.

I will use a cold pot but they have been unused for 30 years ,hope I find no zinc .cheers

Before I melt scrap that is (at least to some extent) "unknown", I pour a little Muriatic acid on the surface. If it "fizzes" I have Zinc, if no "fizz" I'm good to go. I sometimes use the acid to test suspect WW as well.

when I was truck driving, we was always helping people, from hitch-hikers to somebody stranded on the side of the road. big trucks, little cars, it didn't matter because you never know when you might be the one needing help. I am a true believer in Karma, it works.

I prefer to see it as a vindication of the idea that "as you sow, so shall you reap".

[Thumbcocker]

Seems like there was a Jewish carpenter that really favored that idea.

You will never forget this act of kindness
