Expoxy tubes - Tin ?

[missionary5155]

Good afternoon
I just finished off two expoxy tubes. Got to looking and thinking what they are made off. Apperars to be a soft metal.
Anybody know ? Is there any tin in these little squiter things ?

Mike - they may be tin, but I think the hazard of heating epoxy - fumes - is not worth the trouble -- my ha-penny from another old string saver -

All of the tin ingots I have, two 50 cal ammo cans full, came from melting tin tubes like that. I had purchased several waterlogged cardboard boxes of them for a few dollars at an industrial sale.:-D
