flippinfool Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 mix hard and soft lead ? Example soft lead from old shower pans (nice clean stuff) and hard pure lead (look like bricks). If so what do you end up with ? Medium soft lead ? Or is it best to keep the lead ingots separate hard/soft ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Pure lead is quite soft. The "hard" one you mention might be printers lead which has other metals in it like zinc and tin. Yes you can mix them and come out with a "medium". I mix pure lead and wheel weights about 50/50. It pours well and has the hardness I want. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
