Another important thing to know is if you use wheel weights as a lead souce double check that no zinc weights got mixed in. They can look similar to the lead weights but weigh much less. They melt at a similar temperature as lead and if one gets in your batch it will ruin it.
I saw that. Luckily its not hard to test for zinc. Just a little time consuming is all. I know zinc makes a higher pitch, more metallic sound when hit against steal compared to lead that makes a low pitch sound. There is also the crush test. Zinc being harder to crush or deform than lead. Unless there is a faster way, i think those 2 tests are my only options right now
