    Lead melts at the lowest temperature of the items you have listed. You can easily melt it with a propane torch. I am sure that you have realized this.

    Thanks for pointing out the dangers of lead fumes. They can get really bad. Always melt lead in a WELL ventilated area. It is a good practice with anything else as well. I have been doing pewter lately and it is not bad, but I still make sure there is plenty of air moving when I do it.



    Would love to see some pictures of your process and finished product if you get a chance.
