radiator repair shops, ask for 'drippings'. I usually pay about $1/lb, its messy stuff with a lot of **** in it, I end up skimming off about 30% of the weight in junk.

Around here people know WW are worth something. I can usually find buckets for about $40 still but none for free. Luckily a 5gal bucket is 150lbs or heavier and we still see a good percentage of lead...

They dont drop on my toes cuz I carry them between my legs and do a shuffle walk, I have had them dump all over the floor tho which sucks, good to have a flat edged shovel along in case that happens.

Ive had buckets weigh 170lbs, gotta be careful cuz Ive had handles rip out when they are over 140 though...

What would happen if you tossed some baking soda into melted acid core solder?
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Mutilation means that you must modify it so that it cannot still be used for its original purpose I think. Just beat it up or cut it in half and youll probably be good. I like the idea of chainsawing...

Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Im in the market for a new burner, currently I have an old turkey burner that isnt adjustable and will melt, but there is a lot of yellow flame and sooting, which slows things down a lot. Anyone have...

Used to make crackers out of poly pipe with the ends glue gun sealed and canon fuse. Use potassium chlorate and aluminum powder with a little black powder added as fuel. Those things would blow...

I use cross cut shredded paper from my office and it works well. I will also dump in some used motor oil occasionally and light it up, its more fun than paper and will provide heat to melt a full pot...

My WW still run about 85-90% lead. Picked up another 200lbs this weekend for $40... :drinks:

Nice score this weekend! Stopped at 2 tire places while out of town for a hockey tournament. Picked up 6 full 5gal buckets between the 2 places. Cost me $240, not sure actual weight as the places...
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Percentages vary a lot depending where you live, in good ol ND, some buckets 90% = lead, especially if you get them from smaller communities. If you get lead from car dealers your percentage goes...

Ive done a few hundred lbs of 60/40 ingots, same as lead, melts lower temp tho... I made mine smaller than my standard ingots tho. My normal ingot mold will hold 6lbs of lead and takes 1 full ladle...

Id melt it slow and skim the zinkies off the top, Sorting them isnt worth my time.
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Start off by melting an inch of inch of lead, usually I use ingots from a previous session or leave some lead in my pot between melting sessions. When you start with whatever you are melting, there...

Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
Yeah, the wire mesh isnt really strong, its .25 inch. Im hoping to do a few shovels at a time. If the dirt is sandy it should work out ok, I havent been there in a while to check. Im thinking if I...
