    This is making my purchase of range scrap for $1/lb look even better. Rendered down to 40 lb loaf pan ingots. I intend to melt dow to 2 lb ingots and combine all so that I have an alloy that is the same. Drop one ingot of each batch into the pot and they should all be the same.

    As an additional precaution, I slow melt my weights at 700° which is below the melting point for non-lead wheel weights. That way I don't contaminate the good ones. They float to the surface and can be picked off with the steel clips.

    Thanks for the replies. I finally got around to checking the questionable WW. Used a utility knife and just cut into the WW. Those that cut easy went into the melt bucket, and those that didn't went into the scrap bucket. Now only have to melt and flux, then cast into ingots.
    Thank for all of the advise
