If you buy lead from a scrap yard you must clean the lead first. Melt your lead and then use candle wax about the size of a peanut and stir it in. BE SURE TO USE A LONG HANDLE AND A HEAVY PAIR OF GLOVES. SAFETY GOGGLES ARE A MUST. IT WILL START TO SMOKE AND FLAME UP. Once it is done it will bring all of the impurities up to the surface take a spoon and scrape it off. Repeat the step with the wax.

Now you should have good lead.

ZX150 - I may have asked you before, but where do you get your lead?

All over the place. I ran into a guy who had a couple hundred pounds that gave me some. So I am good for a little bit. If you know any plumbers who get old lead it will work but you have to clean it. Check Portland recycling in Louisville as well any other scrap yards.
