This afternoon I got bored laying by the pool so I decided to do something about my lot in life. It only got to 80 degrees today, not quite warm enough to swim in the pool but perfect for warming things up around here by melting some lead just in case I might actually need to cast my own bullets. So, I got the pot all heated up and added a bunch of lead sinkers, tarpon jigs, and a bunch of other misc. lead including wheel weights that I have come across. After meltng a load of lead I was skimming the slag off when I noticed that a wheel weight was floating high and dry.WTH? I have always thought that weight meant weight??? As I didnt have a Bessemer furnace I just put that wheel weight in my slag pile. Didnt wheel weights used to be made of lead?
