PHILLIPS SAFETY Lead Sheet - Lead Sheeting - Sheet Lead Rolls - (1/64" x 24" x 48") - 1 Pack

These are great to have. I can melt them down into lead sinkers when i get some molds. I cam put them against the wall and keep them out of the way until then.

Using as high level beta and low level gamma radiation shielding for some natural thorium, radium, and uranium ore samples. I cut it to line the inside of 1 GAL, and 1 QT sized paint cans. Since lead pigs were too small for some of my samples. Depending on how spicy the sample is, I only need 1 to 3 layers in the can on all sides, to bring measurable levels down to background. Though where I live background radiation levels are higher than most other places, due to the amount of natural parent and daughter radioactive isotopes in the ground. So it wouldn’t get the outer wall of the can anywhere near close to background with this alone in Scotland or parts of Canada. Anywho, tin snips, pliers, and a rubber mallet are all I needed to cut and shape it as needed. I did try to solder the seams closed, but found that just made a lot of smoke and slag. So opted to just overlap, or fold joints. Most samples fit in the 1 QT sized cans that are lined. The rest in the 1 GAL cans. And a few really hot rocks are in both. The lined 1QT inside the lined 1 GAL.

Took my radioactive pottery from a 1570cpm to a 44cpm.

As advertised

Exactly as described.

Bought this to make a radioactive storage box. It worked well.

I used some of this sheet metal (cut to size) to wrap my lead pig. Then soldered the lead sheeting to itself. This helps seal the pig, for radiation measurements with my radiacode.

I got this to make circular protective caps for pilings on my pier. Much easier and cheaper than working with copper. And, they look great. My only issue is I gave lots of sheet lead pieces left over. I guess I'll melt some down into a brick and cut others into maleable strip sinkers. But, it sure would be nice if the company would sell sheet lead in circular form.
