Half a bucket from independent service station no charge. A full sealed box, maybe twenty pounds from chain tire store. He smiled when he handed it to me and said think about him when I needed new tires. Half bucket from local western auto. The rest came from a large independent very large tire store that does a lot of work for fleet trucks. Those cost thirty bucks per bucket. She offered to call me from time to time when she had a pile. All together just shy of six full buckets. Middle Georgia. I did draw blanks from about a dozen others.

I started picking through to cull the zinc but too much trouble. Going to just go slow with the heat and pay attention to thermometer.
