Regional Commanders - The North-South Skirmish Association, Inc.

Now a few notes….
For you casters that cast hard lead (IE wheel weights) I would keep the dross separate. The dross
from the alloy will contain whatever is in that alloy: Tin, Antinomy, etc.
Doing this involves doing stuff with hot metal - cover yourself up! That means don’t wear flip-flops and
no shirt! It will also make smoke and to more refined noses than mine it may stink. Make sure that
crabby neighbor is not home. Oh do this outside or ya may get thrown out of house and end up sleeping
on your single buddy’s lumpy couch. Also do not tell ol’ Al Gore about me!! Telling ya about adding
all that CO 2 to the environment…I don’t think I would be on his Christmas card list after that! But on the
plus side the lead we are returning back to the environment is at least clean!
FYI: Doing this should net you 60-80% good ingots back out of that stuff you have been throwing out.

Note— Always wear protecve equipment, safety goggles, gloves, long sleeve shirts, long pants, and
leather shoes/boots when working around hot items. Always work with lead in a well venlated area.
