I'm pretty much clueless to this. But heat and zinc was mentioned. The hotest I ever cast is 750*. somewhere around 800* is where zinc melts, don't remember the temp exactly. All my lead right now is in ingot form, I make ingot's first to to clean the lead. I melt the lead for ingot's at about 600* I thinkit is, just over the melting point of lead. I throw everything in the pot and anything that doesn't belong there, zinc, floats to the top. I have an old metal serving spoon I drilled a bunch of small hole in that I use for picking out the zinc, don't get the spoon in to deep, it'll pick out the tin too. Once the zink is out I flux with whatever I have on hand to flux with, I like candle's best!Then scoup out the garbage on top and the lead is clean.
