I wash my backstop lead because it has a lot of rubber mixed in. I can float out about 95% of the rubber that way and I don't have to burn it out. (I live in the city, and the neighbors and wife don't appreciate the smell of a good old fashioned tire fire)

It most certainly does. So does dirty motor oil. But sawdust and/or Crisco don't flame up as much.
