Hello Gang,

I was wondering if anyone has a good idea as to a way to determine the specific gravity of the ingots of solder lead and other ingots I have?

I have a suspicion that my solder may be closer to 50-60% tin, not just 40%...


Without testing it, I can't be 100% sure and I want to know.

Tested it with the melt temp temperature and it is 60% Tin and 40% Lead !!!!
