I checked some of my lead "came" with muriatic acid & the bubbles produced was almost non-existent which makes me ask, were bubbles the result of zinc coating or just a reaction to some other dirt or...

I've always use a liberal amount of candle wax while fluxing. The lead seems to roll off the jackets with very little or no lead remaining. I'm not saying you'll get #1 copper prices (like someone...

I wish someone had told that to the dimwit who ran the price of a bucket of WWs up from $20 to $40 around here. Tire shops around here think they're sitting on gold bullion now. Before Mr. Dimwit did...

Not to be arguementitive but some Zn weight clips are molded rather than riveted (see Doghawg's center photo) Three of the weights in that photo are flat, stick-on, clearly marked Zn weights with no...

Bought a couple of 5-gal buckets of ww from a local tire shop for $20 each last year. Went back this year & the guy wanted $40. When I asked why the increase he said that's what the recyclers would...
