And the new fancy adhesive wheel weights really messed up all of us that used to collect wheel weights, melt em down, toss the clips and cast bullets out of them. The new ones suk.
Fishing weights.
I saw some soft weights, not lead,but what? A real pain to remove.
I cast my own bullets from old wheel weights. Here is the deal, MOST like 98 percent of all stick on wheel weights are ZINC and not lead these days. Even the clip on weights are going to Zinc these days. Well, it’s actually a zinc/tin pewter mixture.
Melting point though is barely higher (150-200 degrees) than that of lead but it will float on top of molten lead which makes them easy to sort out. I set my lead pot at about 600 degrees, zinc ones float and simply scoop off.
Later I’ll take those zinc ones and melt down at about 850 degrees for fishing weights then sell them.
Always wearing a respirator rated for lead smelting of course and doing it outside.
