Re: DIY - Melt your own Diving Weight - Quick release Camouflage
Ditto to above, most of my lead weights are home-made, only had to buy two when on a trip changed up to a 7 mm suit from a 5 mm. Collected fishing sinkers from the bottom and turned them all into lead weights. Printer's metal also used for weights as lead with antimony in it which hardens the alloy. Still around despite cooking up all that lead, my Pop did the same and never had any adverse health problems on that score. People today are bombarded with all sorts of scare messages, but reality is somewhat different.
