I took a little time this afternoon asking at some tire shops about their WW's. The first 4 said they had contracts, but the last one asked me what I wanted them for. I said "Making boolits ..." 10 minutes later I had a 1/2 full 6 gallon bucket for FREE! I weighed it when I got home and it was a bit over 90lbs! Now I need to search the forums for tips on sorting WW's.
Then I stopped at a friends electrical parts design shop. I had loaned him a scope and stopped to chat. I found out he has an automated tinning machine that tin's/solders tiny parts for him. He feeds it parts and bars of solder (he said he thinks it's 67/33 solder). Anyway, he says "Do you want me to save the drippings for you?" It's pristinely clean drippings. I'm gonna give him a couple small buckets that are marked "Solder Recycle" and he'll call me when one gets full!
He doesn't use much, but I'll end up with a few pounds of super clean drippings per month.
Anyway, thanks guys for the great site. I just had to share my finds with someone.
