normans Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I know that it has been talked about a lot this forum but I need some help. First I have a lot of lead that I got from the walls of a hospital . It is very soft and dirty lots of glue and paper . The paper and glue burns off ok when I melt the lead. The lead just never seems to clean up every time I flux it more and more stuff comes to the surface. I worked all afternoon and never got a clean silver looking surface on the lead. Even when I think I have it clean it is not . There is always a gold looking film on the pot surface. When I melt the cleaned lead into my lee pot I still get trash on top and it is causing my pot to clog up and not pour very well. I wonder if there is something about this kind of lead that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
