So took a trip to the scrap yard today and came home with 177 lb of stuff.
First being....
BOW SOLDER sn50bs.
Was able to find the following and wondering how useful it is to us.
Chemical Composition Percentage:
Tin 51.5,lead 47.535,antimony 0.5,bismuth 0.25,copper 0.08,arsenic 0.025,iron 0.02,aluminum 0.005,zinc 0.005,remainder not specified.
A little of A lot of other stuff looks like so little won't make a difference.
Watcha Think??

Thats what I was thinking! The small percentages of other stuff are too small to effect what you will be doing with it. Nice Score!

wish you lived near by. We could combine all that stuff with the pile of pure lead ive got and make some nice alloy.

Just posting that a scrap yard in Cali sold some "leadish" alloy is enough to open an official Jerry Brown investigation.
