Hi guys!
I thought i saw a recipe for an alloy similar to Lyman's no.2 on this forum a few days back, but now when I need to find it it seems to be gone. It was sometiong about the ratio of WW/Linotype. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Another wheel weight to linotype recipe is 2 lb's of linotype to 5 lb's of wheel weights.
The combination of 3 lb's linotype to 9 lb's of wheel weights John Boy posted is near identical.
They come out as a mixture of this:
2 lb's Linotype to 5 lb's Wheel weights = 1.5% tin / 6.3% antimony / 92.2 % lead.
3 lb's Linotype to 9 lb's wheel weights = 1.4% tin / 6.0% antimon/ 92.7% lead.
Lyman #2 consists of 5% tin / 5% antimony / 90.0 % lead.
Hope this is of some help.
Respecfully,
Murphy
