Should I get a pot of lead melted and start putting them in by the hand fulls and skim off what floats? I don’t have a thermometer for the lead so there is the danger of getting it too hot and melting the zinc. I’ve read that the zinc with ruin the lead for casting but could it be “fluxed” out?


Just “one” bucket! 😂 You got nutt’n to complain about…..well, except that you only have one bucket! 😉 memtb
