where2 get cheap sounding lead ?
Sounding leads are generally made of bronze.
"Gordon" wrote in message ... How does melting lead expose you to lead? There are NO lead fumes and you can wear gloves. If melting lead was a problem, every person that ever soldered would have a problem! That said, old tire weights are covered with dirt, grease, rubber and everything else off the road and will certainly smoke and smell bad when melting the lead and that stuff, I would not breathe! I melt the stuff outside in a coffee can on an old camp stove. Gordon "Rosalie B." wrote in message ...

Is there that much lead in a sounding lead? In any case, I really do not agree that melting lead is the way to go because lead overexposure is no joke, and it can occur even outdoors. If you were doing it on a very limited basis, it probably would be OK provided that you were not also exposed in other ways (like removing lead paint or making your own lead shot). grandma Rosalie |
