Can't be of much help with your actual question, but having contracted severe lead poisoning can not stress enough , make sure you take all the proper precautions working with it.
Things I never thought of, like changing your clothes and footwear where you are working with it, keeps lead contamination out of your house, laundry, car etc.
We had to replace all of these to get rid of as much as possible and the bill from the clean up of my garage was not small either.
Respirators are not for sissys I learned.
6 years after being poisoned I am still suffering from the effects, lead is just a plain nasty substance.
My advice if you proceed is build a dedicated garden shed for working with the lead, and be careful about contact and air flow. If you start to get a constant headache for more than a few days get to the doctor.
