You have to use lead with a much higher grade of purity then junk yard lead. As far as melting it and skimming it off the top, go ahead. The average bill for cancer treatment runs about $130,000.00, keep your insurance paid up it should cover about $40,000.00 worth of the treatment and you would only have to kick in $90,000.00 out of pocket. Make sure no one sees you doing it. I would imagine the EPA, the local cops, and a bunch of others will do their best to lock you up and throw away the key. The stuff is DANGEROUS and is not as good a filler as the new body fillers...... The "no bondo, lead only" hype is nothing but hype...... Ever watched anyone die from lead poisioning or cancer????
