Get yourself a 2'x2' piece of sheet metal to set around your work area. Those little lead drips are a PITA to clean up, but if they are laying on sheet metal, all you have to do is dump them back into your scrap stash and remelt them.
@Oheeeoh Excellent idea! You've done this before I see. . . :D Now that we are to casting season and I have 2x 5gal buckets of lead to clean and get prepped, I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip!
I am 15 and want to make money without being limited to a mere 3 hours a day by law. Would I be able to make a bit of money by casting ingots like that?
@inverseactuality If you sell them online or locally at a competitive price then sure. Boolit casters and reloaders like me always need lead, the problem is getting a good price on it.
@kornphr34k most of this was done for wheel weights I either trader for or bought from tire shops. I also used sinkers from fishing weights and casting nets.

@kornphr34k been working well. I would like to have something nicer, but it's hard to beat for the price.
