Guys, can anyone tell me how easy it is to smelt Zinc? I have a pile now after sorting them from the lead weights and I am wanting to make a pair of wheel weights for my garden tractor. I don't want to use my lead for this so if possible I would like to use the zinc I have.
Is there anything I should know about melting the zinc compared to lead?
The smelt pot that I use is a older Lyman electric pot if that makes any difference.
