The extended confabulation you are engendering by sifting and pondering
snatches of academia, hackneyed regulatory body stances and misapplied
factual knowledge, however well-intended, suggest that you may never
have been within a mile of a small casting operation in your entire
professional nor personal life.

If you are talking about me (and you need to learn to quote at least a
little bit - you can do it even on aol), you are wrong about that. I
have been to, observed, and taken samples at a small casting
operation. In one case they were casting frogs for flower
arrangements (you know those things with the spikes sticking up that
they put in the bottom of a vase to keep the flowers in place), and
they got the whole building so contaminated that they probably
couldn't even dispose of it unless they got a hazardous waste permit.
Plus they contaminated their homes. Eventually the lead clogged up
the orifices of the propane burner, and they had to go to the hospital
with propane poisoning.

Now, we are ready to pour two cute little anodes, right out here on the
fantail. You will like them. Please shut your trap and hold these
tongs nice and steady, or you're goin' swimmin'. :-)

As we've said - zinc isn't hazardous in the same way lead would be.
Just because people do cast their own bullets doesn't mean that their
health isn't affected. One symptom is increased crankiness.
