I have found myself disappointed a few times with this. Kind of hard to feel the density difference sometimes, when it still has other stuff attatched.



Dee, my main non ferrous dealer does buy zinc, and most bigger yards that I know of will, too. If I only have a few pounds, he is kind enough to throw it on the scale with my sheet aluminum. If I have a bunch, I gotta take the hit, as he will weigh it separately.
