I just got through melting 90lbs of old lead flashing into ingots. Some lots came out nice and silver whilst other smelts have a distinct blue or purple tinge. And one lot came out with a golden hue.
What is going on here? Impurities, temperature problems, contamination? I do not remember this happening before.
