johnbaz Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Don't see any Lanes heavy weights in there I don't have any!! How do you keep them lead oxide free? Most of the older ones are full of oxide unfortunately I tried washing some then drying and putting them in a freezer bag with a bit of light oil, They came out a bit better but not a deal John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
