Hey, thanks for the addition info on why not to use lead wrapping. I'm using leather now, cause that's what I had. I'd been reading about lead wrap and it seemed to be "highly recommended" by a couple of folks, but not near all. Now I know the reason why not. Leather seems to be working just fine, so no reason to use lead. Again, sure glad this info was added or I would have wrapped the flint with lead.
See, I'm STILL learning this stuff - and hope I never stop learning. Helps keep the old brain active and a LOT more fun than crossword puzzles.
