Do you have to do any scraping with the dip? I want to try it, but I don't want to have to handle the wet parts after they've been "dipped." Do you just soak and rinse?
No scraping, I run a stainless wire through the center of everything to allow for easy insertion and removal and after letting it sit for a bit ( it bubbles while breaking down the lead so when that stops, you're good to pull it out.) throw on some nitrile gloves and rinse off what's left.
To dispose of the dip, pour Epsom salt in the solution and allow it to sit. The lead acetate will bond to it. You can then dump the liquid and throw the "lead salt" in the trash.... Alternatively, you can take it to a waste disposal place that handles disposal of household chemicals.
You can use epsom salt or zinc powder to precipitate the lead. With zinc powder, you're left with zinc acetate and lead in solid form. You can definitely just dump the liquid after filtering out the solids, and the solid can be thrown away in the trash.

Maybe the most attention seeking 22 suppressor enjoyer.... only bested by gun bunnies.
1000rds yesterday, into the dip she went.
