Hi guys,
just thought you might like to know, the "stuff" lead has been
replaced with is depending on Petrol Company, either phosphoros or
magnesium. Reasonably soft metals like lead but more reactive, hence more
problems. Calcium is must closer to Lead(chemically-electrons, density,
size, etc...)than the replacements but is not very safe if it were to come
in contact with water, ie: explosive. Anyway cheers.
Steve
