you will need to flux the lead mixture to mix it up good. If not the heavier lead content will go to the bottom and the wheel weight or other mix will stay on top. Put about a marble size hunk in a 20 lb pot, mix it up and it will start smoking. Put a match to it and it will flame up. Mix it up until the fire goes out and you have it fluxed and ready to pour into your mold.
