Zinc Sources
« on: October 27, 2010, 04:48:44 PM »
Does anyone have a source for zinc @ less than $2 a pound, shipped?  I've run through the 100Lbs I had on hand and need to replenish.  Cheapest I've found is in ingot form @ 2.08 shipped.

Give these people a call.  I can take care of packing for shipping if they have a good price.

Thanks for the help guys. ClassicCannon had a great price on quantity buys.  That should hold me for a while.  Gonna have to find someone with a metal detector soon!
