Hey! I just saw'd some hardwood logs for sawdust..
Now I need to know in what quantity of sawdust per pound of lead?
I have 50 lbs of lead sheets (x-ray room).
Thanks!

Great, I just purchased 50 pounds of x-ray room lead sheets! I'll get to melting them down once I get my Lee Precision Pro 20 lb pot. Thanks everyone!

I am going to purchase some soft lead (x-ray lead sheets) soon.
