Scored on WW lead
« on: February 21, 2003, 03:51:45 PM »
Stopped at the local tire shop the other day to pick up some ww for casting and found out they have a 55 drum FULL plus about 5-6 5 gal pails that were in the shop. Seem the only people in my area using it are the fishermen who only take 5 lbs at a time. The nice part is that a lot of it is from truck tires, meaning BIG chunks and a lot of flat stick on pieces with no clips. Looks like I'm set for life. Only charged me $2 for a 5# bucket. Lucky me. Lucky me. :P  :P  :P  :P  :P
Just another worthless opinion!!

Dakota, lucky you!!  Here in WA State most of the tire stores sell their WW to recyclers and anyone is hard pressed to be able to come up with a reliable source of WW.  I used to have a good source, but that dried up.  Luckily I still have about 900 lbs of cleaned WW's.  Pure lead is what I would like to be able to get.  If anyone in the greater Seattle area knows of a good source, please let me know.  Nice going Dakota.   :-D
