[SEL] Sticking lead to cast iron

[peter ogborne]

Richard .....JB  Castagnos is correct ,the surface of the Cast Iron needs to 
be etched with a Copper solution .
A solution containing Copper salts will do it . Use a 50 /50 Tin /Lead 
solder with Borax or Sal ammoniac as a flux.
If they are fly wheel weight I would be using the suggestion that someone 
made of peining them into position.
