Hello all,
I just melted some of my first wheel weights. And I was wondering if there's any issue to that my "stainless" pot and spoons seemed to start rusting after a bit of stirring and fluxing?
I used candle wax to fflux. Also, it seemed that the film (dross?) on top of the melted lead would NEVER go away completely even after fluxing a few times. Is this film actually just slightly cooler lead? Or is the spoon I'm using leeching into the lead and causing more dross? It doesn't say stainless on it, but it seemed very much like it was... Until is started rusting mid smelt!
