hey fellas, i got ahold of some big hunks of pure lead yesterday, smelting now
since they are so large i am using a high heat to get them melted down, i have only ever used WW exclusively, this is my first with pure lead
question is, i am getting weird(but beautiful) blues and oranges and purple colors on top of the melt, tried cooling down and redo-ing but still cant get rid of alll the colors, especially the blue
whats wrong? too much contaminent? or is this just a normal occurance with pure lead at high heat?
