    That could be correct in other circumstances. The color deepens even as it solidifies, Most of the time while doing this it was barely liquid. Just something in the lead, I was just wondering if anyone else had run into this. Again, I have only seen this on xray sheeting. I can melt roofing...

    I have run into this for the third time now whenever melting sheet lead from xray rooms. Regardless of temp, as soon as it melts it goes pretty rainbow colors. Has anyone else noticed this? I run thus same setup with wheel weights or other lead sources and this doesn't happen.
