And that is the reason why many will not purchase WW ingots; they prefer the extra security of processing the raw weights themselves.
Sure, it's extra work with the raw weights, but several have been "stung" with a questionable batch. It's all too easy to dump everything in the pot and simply crank up the heat in hopes of a quick melt.
If I were to purchase WW in ingot form, it would only be from a known/trusted source.
Other than that, if you already have a contaminated batch, the sticky on removing zinc is an interesting read.
I'm just glad he was nice and sent me some to test!
update on ingots! I cleaned my pot out and casted a few fishing weights from them mystery ingots!sure made a mess! had the temp on full blast and it just poured out like clumps of mud! I made 6 2oz weights and I'm glad the guy was up front about it! guess I'll just have to pass on the rest and use what I got to go fishing the next nice day !
