My buddy pours jigs for me. He's out of lead, and I'm looking to get him some.
My neighbor, a plumber, is going to give me some lead he has left over from when they used to use cast iron fittings with caulked lead joints. Will that work in Do-It molds? #2

My next door neighbor used to be a plumber, he moved but he used to give me lead and it worked like a charm!! I still have about 20 pounds or so.

Is your plumbler's lead the 4-5# muffin shaped round or six sided blocks, or lighter rectangles? The muffins are 99+% pure lead but rectangles might be wiping solder with a valuable tin content.

I haven't got it yet. I'll let you know when I do. Typically, plumber's lead has always been the six sided blocks, but I won't know for sure until I get it. |
