Black byproduct of the dip?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

Black byproduct of the dip?

Post by pjames6 »

I'm curious if anyone knows what the black byproduct of the dip is. I believe that the lead acetate is kept in solution, but what are the black particulates that fall to the bottom of the solution?

My best guess is just carbon that was attached to the lead in the can.

Solidified pieces of carbon mostly. Some lead too for sure.
