Cleaning lead for painting [North Dakota] 

June 9, 2006

I have some oxidized lead fishing jig lures I need to clean before painting.
Any suggestions? How do I know when they are clean enough?

Medium grade Steel Wool [link is to product info at Rockler] will work fine, just work till shiny. Then paint.
