I think it's plausible the build up gets shot off as it gets worse.

Well my dad goes to church with a guy who owns a scrap yard. I splurged a couple years ago and loaded up.
He’s supposed to have another one soon so I’ll trade him some cash and old appliances from the scrap pile on he farm for them.

How did you transport the 55 gallon barrel of ww? Or they came in smaller containers, and your storing them in the barrels?

They loaded it on my truck and we unloaded it with the front end loader on the the tractor.
We put them on one of the cheap harbor freight furniture Dolly’s so we can move them around the garage if needed.

a 55 gal drum hold like 1200 lbs of ww's.
the last one I brought home they loaded with a forklift and I had to just push it over in the back of the truck then sort it into buckets and move them into the back yard.
thankfully it was only half full since I blew the rest of my money on a half a pallet of lino-type pigs they had there.

I just get all I can while it’s available. I’m 33 years old and I figure in my lifetime lead wheel weights will become obsolete.

Watched as a young guy at the scrap yard put a chain with slip hook around a 1/2 barrel of lead. He tried to lift it with the bucket on hoe. The barrel was shaped like a bow tie when he had it about 3 feet off the ground. His boss wanted too much for the lead after he got it weighed. They still have the barrel sitting in an out building to this day.

You know that type 2 (Genuine Nickel) babbitt would add some antimony and tin, plus a tad bit copper that would greatly improve the alloy. Likely you'd only need a pound or two to 100 pounds of your alloy.

Maybe one of us should look at a ternary alloy phase chart, just a thought.....

Somebody at UCLA engineering threw out the collection of ternary phase wireframes. They thought they were somebody's old art project. Somebody got a masters degree for building each one of those things.
