A guy from work gave me 40-50 lbs of roof flashing and lead pipe. I have been hoarding WW for a year now and have about 300lbs smelted into muffin tins.
Is the lead pipe and roof flashing pure? Can I treat it the same as WW. Or is it soft and should be mixed in with my stick on WW? |
| True lead flashing is very pure and soft. I would try and trade it to some black powder shooters in your area. I know pure lead can be hard to find sometimes and black powder shooters (like me) will sometimes trade you hard lead for soft lead. I actually shoot both so I just segregate it out by hardness and use accordingly. |

Save any and all lead! Wheel weights, fishing weights, lead pipe, flashing, old fired bullets, etc.
It will all alloy fine as mentioned above. I've got a plumber buddy who gives me any flashing and pipe he rips out. We've been doing this for years to make bullets for cowboy shooting. |
