[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1050772, member: 41122"] The sawdust smolders on the lead about 700-800 deg f and turns to charcoal, carbon. The carbon naturally sticks to all the impurities and also the steel clips releasing them from the lead. Scrape off the flux/impurities and oxidization from the top of the lead pool and cast your ingots. When you go to cast in your furnace you will have clean lead alloy ingots to use. Google "lead smelting" [/QUOTE]
