Mineral oil in bulk can be found at "Feed n Seed" type stores,  used as a 
horse laxitive...  comes in 1 gallon jugs.
Sheet lead   thats going to be a bit harder to find    just maybe some of 
the older well established hardware stores ( Mom n Pop types personally 
owned) might have a stash in the back corner   it was once used as flashing 
for roof work.  I think McMaster Carr might carry it ...  yes they do ( 
well at least its listed in Cat.101)

a 24"X24"X1/8" piece is 54$    and thats from the old catalog...
