Wheel weights for casting

[Shane P]

I’ve asked and looked, looked and asked. I can’t locate any locally. Either there’s too many casters in my area or the shops would rather scrap it all.

Regardless, I found someone somewhat close that has more than 800lbs (not smelted yet). So sill include steel clips and some zinc as well.

I feel that he is asking a steep price, but I may be just too cheap. He said $700 for all of it

Yeah that's way too high, I've bought it already in ingots for that. Cause only about 75% is probably usable lead if that. I own an automotive shop and do tires so I normally get enough for personal use. But buy antimony for a dollar a pound. Call the scrap yard and see what they would give.

That’s what I thought too. I did but 50lbs already in ingots a few months ago for $1 per pound. $1 per pound for raw wheel weights? And I have to drive 4 hours round trip to pick it up....
