Lead Sources

Where to get your lead

SOFT LEAD
Available through metal dealers and some hardware stores. Lead may be the worlds most recycled metal. Scrap lead in the form of sheathing, plumbing and flashing is soft lead. Check your telephone directory for local SCRAP METAL or SALVAGED METAL dealers. These can be economical sources for salvaged soft lead.

HARD LEAD
Scrap lead in the form of wheel weights and line-o-type is hard lead. Used wheel weights can be obtained at many service stations and tire stores. We do not recommend hard lead for use in Do-it molds.
