Re: Battery Cable Lead
If it's from car batteries if I'm reading it right, most lead from car batteries is about 85-87 percent lead, with a mixture of anti-mony and some tin.
It is usable for bigger sinkers and jigs and if you mix a little tire weight or a small amount of pure there is no reason you can't use it. Make sure you melt it outdoors to smelt it all down and clean it up, it will most likely smell while you're doing it but the resultant lead will be fine. Once you have it all cleaned you can try it in whatever molds you have and have a list of what types work best in those molds.
Check out the sticky on fluxing and do that also it will clean up the lead even more. With prices the way they are every bit helps.
