A friend suggested I as my question here and I've already learned a lot about how much I've got to learn about casting but we gotta start somewhere.
I've got a lead anode, about 1-1/2" dia by 12" long, that was used for chrome plating the interior of railroad car bearings.
Will the residual chromium in the surface of the anode cause any problems when I melt it? I plan on neutralizing it first with a rusty iron solution (chromium likes rust!) first but no way to know how much will remain after melting (outside and downwind).
I will mix it with about 80 pounds of pure lead (from a counterweight) before I start learning about casting "boolits" for my .35 Marlin "Texan"
Thanks for any help!
