I bought a rather large stock of roof cover lead.
It is supposed to be pure lead, but tryng to melt some ingonts in my furnace this night I grew highly disappointed from what I saw.
The lead looks iridiscent and continues to form a dark "skin" on top. For how long I skim it, no way to end this iridiscent skin. The ingots I made look iridiscent and full of impurities.
I somewhat hope to have pushed the lead to too high temperature, but I am not very convinced.
Please give me some suggestion before I just trash all this f******g sheet of lead.
