There wasn't a dark surface, it stayed bright and shiny the whole time. Silvery-er, if that's a thing, which I assumed was just the additional tin. The dross on the top looked the same as before, when I was working with just WW.
I just don't know the temps, but I've got a thermometer on the way. But it was set the same as it was in previous casting sessions; all the way up during the initial melt, backed off as the last pieces start to melt. Probably too hot, but no good way to tell.
Right up until I dumped the ingots out of the pan and saw the crystallization I hadn't seen anything that looked any different from previous sessions.
