How can one get lead to float? Assume it is in a lump, not made into a boatlike shape, nor carried in a boatlike device.

(In reply to hmmm? by Pieater)

Hmm... might as well just put the lump of lead on the table and announce to the world that it's floating on wood...

Just a thought (not a scientist here, just going through random problems), but if the amount of lead were small enough, would surface tension on some plain ol' H2O hold it up?

Peace, Rawlyn.
