If the lead was originally in gasoline, wouldn't gasoline work as well as anything else to dissolve lead? How about an ultrasonic cleaner filled with gasoline, if that can be done safely. No, don't "borrow" your wife's jewelry cleaner either :-)

No. The lead wasn't really 'dissolve' in gasoline as much as it is reacted with certain elements to form additional compounds. That reaction won't occur again under normal circumstances.
But your comment got me thinking about chemistry classes. Time for chemistry class.

Try this one Ed.....toothpaste. Or maybe swish it in a warm brine solution. Might want to check the toxicity of poisonous halides first, though.
