Hello!
Today in a local store I was told about a product for coating/coloring lead weights.
The product (sorry I don't remember the name) is a bag with a fine powder and is available in several colors.
To apply it you have to heat up the lead with a blowtorch or something "until the lead gets shiny" I was told and then cover the lead with the powder. The powder will stick on the lead. Then you need to heat it up again and deep it in water to cool it down. That's all - It sounds quite easy.
The question is, does this method offer any real protection from lead or is it just a matter of aesthetics (color)? Also would that be strong enough to withstand the usual abuse of the weight belts?
Thanks
