The shot melted! Ha! Ha! Reminds me of a calamity that occurred 30 yrs. ago. See, I had to melt lead into bricks to use as ballast on my racekart. So I got these discarded printing plates by the 100's. Late in the night I took a metal ice-cube tray and placed it across 2 red hot burners on the stove (having tried the oven to no avail) and put the plates in. Worked like a charm! Soon I had 2 trays full of melted lead. Then my roomie comes out at 2am wondering what the smoke was (printing plates have ink on them) and gets a glass of water. He looks at my project warily, then slips on the kitchen floor, the water goes flying, and some water drops land into the molten lead.
BOOM! THE LEAD SPRAYS ALL OVER THE PLACE >>>> CEILING, STOVE, EVERYWHERE, ME. My buddy falls AND BREAKS HIS ARM! No ballast resulted. SAND WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER, I'm certain. Colm
