Melting Lead On A Stove

[jessejcbrl]

lead cupcakes. delicious

[dogman1117]

I don't believe that this is being shown!!! WHY are you melting lead on a stove indoors??? Pounding on jacketed bullets??? The lead will melt anyway and all that will be left is the copper jacket with the dross. This is incredibly the most WRONG thing I have ever seen in my 35 years of reloading and casting!

[redbull101991]

Ah I remember the old good times when my dad was helping me make my own lead soldiers when I was young :P

[TAULION879]

Why is the stove purple?

[dgamezonu2693]

serious lead poisoning risk. please go outside and melt it there. you will have more fun than melting it inside and the lead vapors have somewhere to go.

[TakingU2Skool]

so what do you do with the leftover copper???

[jd426999]

you could not possibly do it any MORE wrong than this.. Do you also Fry Bacon in the NUDE ??

Good god..

[C0WB0YPANDA]

dont use PAM you fuck, it fucks the lead up.

[TheGermanPyro]

Melting lead inside? Are you fucking retarded if you breathe in any of that vapor you could suffer brain damage!

[supergooddeal]

I'm curious, if lead is extremely heated. Will it actually harden like a rock?

[blackgaymidgetjew]

@supergooddeal no

[supergooddeal]

@blackgaymidgetjew Man, I wish someone knew what type of slag it is I found. I thought lead.  35lb of material that I don't know what it is?

[blackgaymidgetjew]

@supergooddeal Will it melt on a stove? if so, it could be zinc, it has a low melting point like lead.

[supergooddeal]

@blackgaymidgetjew Haven't tried that yet. I did break a small piece off and heated it with a torch. It took a little bit to get it to molt but when it did it got so bright I couldn't even look at it. I mean REAL bright. It turned kinda yellow and got real brittle. I have a video of this entire specimen on my channel if you want to view it.

[endimion17]

@supergooddeal At normal pressure, no. It melts, and then boils at 1749 °C. Eventually, by raising the temperature well above few thousands degrees, it will turn to plasma, with less and less bonded electrons as it gets heated. Just like any other element.

[supergooddeal]

@endimion17 Thanks for the info.

[mario8401]

lead poisoning , you will be ill and die

[sp3ar2envi]

looks kinda like mercury

[DiStUrBeDB1TcH]

lmao i just did this on my stove.. without a pan xD just on the stove top.. i know stupid but oh well! it worked lmao

[thesmdstudio]

Sorry don't know:(

[Jomasterhns]

does the numbers on a stove top mean each 100 degre? like the number 4 is 400, or the number 6 is 600?

[Megapcspecialists]

@Jomasterhns Those numbers normally mean % as in. 4 is 40% 6 is 60%. look at the wattage of element or amount of gas flow.

[andreascyu]

the..stove...purple?

[Megapcspecialists]

@andreascyu white balance on the camera must be correcting for a florescent.

[andreascyu]

@Megapcspecialists would be pretty cool if it actually was purple though 

[stargirl264300]

you mean electric stove? -.-

[seifs4]

may i ask what the point of the lead is once its molded?

[MrMantura]

@seifs4 You can sell it. I can buy lead ingots for £2 per 500g.

[fall22123]

You probably shouldn't do that on your kitchen stove, especially if you have kids in the house. They are more sensitive to lead poisoning. I see it dripped all over everything. Sorry I don't mean to sound like a jerk put a kitchen stove is for cooking food.

[coilsinamotor]

lead spear heads!!

[ScottysDetailing]

yep, not very safe??

[fireline6]

are you indoors?

[romansten9]

I've never had a problem with any lead not coming out of a mold. One good thing about the muffin pan and other molds is that they are smaller at the bottom so things release easier. Sprays seem like a waste of time and money!

[ScottysDetailing]

Thanks for the input, Fire bad.

[Bbkflys]

Never spray your mold with cooking spray, it can ignite. Give mold release a try.
