Presumably the contaminated lead will deteriorate anywhere. Heck, the lead in my scuba-diving belt is not corroded and it certainly gets exposed to a rough environment! Terry I wonder if the lead used in you scuba belt is made specifically for high humidity situations, whereas key leads are made for normal outside, less humid air, and is probably a lot cheaper than your diving belt leads. One way to find out is to ask your scuba dive shop the price of a lead weight, and compare it with the price of a pound or two of key leads.
