So I was melting wheel weights last week, and in the bucket were a bunch of "stick-on" wheel weights. Supposedly these are pure lead, and should be weeded out of wheel weight alloy as it dillutes your alloy. I did not care that much since I don't know what the alloy is and did not trust that it was pure lead anyway, so I threw them in the pot. I cut into them with my pocket knife and they cut easily and revealed shiny metal, so I was sure these were lead.
But in the melting pot, even though the rest of the wheel weights had melted, these did not, so I pulled them from the melt with the dross.
Any idea what these are?
