In today's atmosphere where the Gov't. is insistent about protecting us from ourselves and every perceived hazard, it has come to my attention that most if not all of the buckets of wheel weights I have obtained seem to have a significant percentage of zinc weights.I am having a difficult time in segregating the two metals, so that I'm not accidentally mixing zinc with lead.I've already tried discriminating by using the lowest melt temp. I could, and looking for any “floaters” and picking them out. Unfortunately, when I tried grabbing the floaters out, by the time I could grab them, they had half melted, spoiling the existing melt.Any other ideas out there? It would be a great help, inasmuch as we might as well get used to the problem, as the old wheel weights are phased out. The only upside I can see is I no longer read about all the victims we used to have when people were eating and sucking on lead tire weights. Could it be that fish are not killed by hooking and landing them, but because they ingested the sinkers?
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. My fate is not entirely in Gods hands, if I have a weapon in mine.
