Land Ordinance of 1785. Provisions: Townships 6 miles square would be surveyed then divided into sections equaling 1 square mile. The sections were to be sold in lots of 640 acres at no less than $1 per acre. The revenue from the sale of one section for each township would be used to develop public education.
You heat up the lead dip it in the powder presto changeo you have shiney colored lead. There is even a clear coat with sparkles. Shiny Lead from Sam W. (64.72.54.252) 2/10/2003 10:21:00 AM. I used to be in the commercial reloading business.
As such, you wouldn't want to eat it because lead is a toxic heavy metal. It doesn't dissolve in water very well (or sweat) so brief contact with your skin won't do any harm. However, as battery acid (sulphuric acid) may also be present, you wouldn't want that on your skin, or in your eyes or mouth, as it will burn. It also rots cotton clothing. The best way to minimise build-up of these crystals is to coat the battery terminals and clamps with silicone grease.
