Keeping track of your alloys - HF stamp kit

[mold maker]

If your lead is in tons and your memory is old, Ya better mark them, so the next fellow isn't lost. Don't wait till you have to just guess, as your time will come, if your lucky.

I just use an electric engraver and write like a pencil, they are not that expensive.

I stamp my ingots with that cheap screwdriver that's been lying on my bench for about 20 years that I use for all the things you're not supposed to use a screwdriver for (punch, chisel, scraper, small pry bar, etc.). I stamp mine WW, and range scrap as JKTD BLT (jacketed bullet core metal), CAST, or PLATED (plated bullet metal). Certainly not as neat as letter stamps, but still permanently marked and readable.

I use the stamps as well. CO clip on SO stick on RS range scrap to mark my ingots. Once they are made and marked I use my XRF gun at work to analyze whats in them and note it in my journal.

Helped my son use some HF 20% coupons the other day and got a set of punches free. Right price. Marking ingots is going to use up a few rainy, cold winter weekends.

Sharpies ain't cheap anymore so that $10 stamp kit may save you money in the long run.

I label the "5 gal pails" the ingots are in too many to label each one.
