Do any California builders know where to get lead? About two years ago us 
Californians could get 5lb lead ingots, sheet lead flashing, and shredded 
hair lead at any hardware store. Now there is some environmental issue 
causing all of the hardware stores to not stock lead any more. One builder 
I know is getting lead shot from Arizona, but he has to go there to get it 
himself because UPS charges a hazardous chemical fee to carry lead! It may 
be less expensive to substitute gold.

[While the environmentalists have had some luck at banning lead shot in
deference to steel in most areas, you should still be able to locate 
lead shot at most sporting goods stores.  I know that shot is more
expensive than ingots, but it is probably more readily available.  Give
your local full-service gun shop a call and see if they don't stock it
routinely.  Another rather left-handed source would be a recycling center,
one that collects batteries in particular might be a good potential resource
for this less-than-desirable metal.  I hope this helps.     <Marv>     ]
