Had to make the trip to get food today, 70 miles down and back.
You got to love Maine, anyway on the way down wife Say's
" is the reason for you being so cranky lately because your out of metal to cast"
So I try to explain that -- well it's because my back has been hurting me and the muscles in my legs hurt when I walk.
She Say's I know --but whats the real reason.
I say well a little metal to cast with wouldn't hurt.
She Say's "what about the V.I.P. auto center it's on the way"
I say "yea right --those big places don't give away anything, they probly sell them back for knew stuff. "
So we go in any way to return some auto scratch remover we got for the new truck that didn't work and I get into a huff with the guy about returning the bottle of useless stuff. Then I remember the WW's --I think wow this kid must hate me
now--so I ask anyway and he is trying to sell me new WW's.
I say know I want old WW's, he Say's Oh we get credit for those against new WW's---- But--come in the back. Here he Say's take these just bring the buckets back. So I get them home and dump them in a 5 Gal. pale and it's over flowing.
I can't believe I got a whole pale of WW's and the cost was nothing, Nada,zip.
So I guess I will get about at least 75 pounds of metal from them Eh.
I can get another 75# of lead from my friend and make My 50/50 alloy.
I will be good to go for another little while.
Do you think I should hold back some WW metal and leave it UN mixed for the wifes 40 Beretta ?--50/50 may be to soft Eh. ?
I had some tin I got from the guy's on the forum but it's gone now.
If I don't add tin to the 50/50 mix will it be OK ?
Sorry for the long post but I am so happy I can cast again
OH AND YES THE KID SAID HE DRANK BUD BEER--SO THAT'S A GIVEN.
