I have a bunch of powder coateing, I'm guessing, on my lead wheel weights. I'm melting them down in skimming off the glue like substance off the top and then for some reason it's bubbling with steam coming off. I'm guessing this is powder coating that was stuck to the bottom of my cast iron pan? I've been melting Lead for 5 straight days now and this is the first stuff I've dealt with with powder coatiled or painted weights.. I can tell you it sure stinks when it burns. I'm fluxing afterwards and still getting bubbling.
