I was sorting through a bucket of used wheel weights and came across what I think may be some sort of lead-impregnated foam tape. I'm not sure, though - it just seemed to be a bit heavier than a typical piece of foam tape and it was in the box of wheel weights I got from my friend at the auto dealership. Have y'all ever come across such a thing?

I've come across some of those recently myself. I just threw them away as I wasn't sure what the makeup was. It was a very small portion of what I had as far as stick-on weights.
Maybe someone will be along soon who can tell us both more about what it is actually comprised of.

Thanks, guys. I'll just throw it away also, as there's not enough of it to make any difference.
