Hum.... not toxic. You must be kidding. Lead is toxic itself.

I said not "to" toxic. Do you think your response was helpful?

Toxic is toxic... Good luck with your search as there is no such thing as not "too" Toxic.
Sorry if your offended.

I think you are mistaken. Some things are toxic to the touch, some have toxic fumes. Some may just bother the eyes, other may kill. If you don't have something positive to add, please stay off my post

Re: Lead solvent for stainless steel baffels?
is it just regular hydrogen peroxide, like that found at Wally World
Will this "DIP" hurt the epoxys used to seal the endcaps. I have the Cascade Titanium

I have heard that "The Dip" 50% vinegar 50% peroxide, puts off poisonous fumes, "hightly toxic"? What handling precautions should be taken? Trophyhumter-My Elemement comes appart, so I can treat just the stanless steel baffels. I don't know how it would effect a sealed can.

Re: Lead solvent for stainless steel baffels?
Hey I have used the mix & it works great & No Poisson Fumes .
& it's 50-50
WHITE Vinegar & normal household H2O2/ hydrogen peroxide .
What is Poison is . It dissolves the Lead & turns the Lead to a byproduct in the liquid mix of Lead Acetate .
So Do not handle a large amount of it with the bare hands & let it get into your system & don't drink it .

.
I have let a sealed Can soak overnight fully submerged in sealed container & with a couple times walking by & shaking/agitating it .
After about 12 hours time . It started to bubble (just a tiny little bit ) the DuraCoat coating on the outside .
Then I just blow it out with 200 psi on the air compressor & went shooting .
