Some while back I mentioned a friend of mine was able to provide lead wire for purchase. He has been testing and running extrusion wire to see if it is viable to offer for sale. We are able to make it and offer it in a variety of sizes and I want to find out if there is a real need for it.
We can produce wire in a huge variety of sizes but would like to test the market with the following first.
We can supply .210, .283, and .375 and .504 now
We have an additional 10 extrusion dies but would like to test the first 4 sizes first.
If demand is high for the others we will switch.
The wire will all be soft lead only. No WW or Alloy for now.
The wire will be offered in 12inch sticks mailed 50 pounds at a time in flat rate boxes. We will mix sizes per box of 50 lbs. We tried spooling but it is not really feasible with the setup.
We are looking for a market that is real so we are going to search for a fair market price. We are both retired and are not trying to keep too busy.
We are hoping to sell this at $4 per pound. Add $15 flat rate shipping and hopefully we can fill a little void.
I am not adverse to selling smaller quantity for the person wanting to test the product but the 12 inch length dictates a flat rate box so the shipping is the same.
Let me know,
Frank
