If you are at 90% then the difference is negligible, but how do you know you have 90% without testing? And as has been said, the price is going up on pewter so is it still worth it?

And you are not getting pure tin which you can buy at places like Rotometals and know for sure what you got. You can buy pure tin for 28.00 lb. and that pound will do a lot more than pewter alloy....

You got your money back and you did not have to send the dies back. You yourself say they work great so will you please stop complaining about the FREE dies you got!!! Everything you buy has a...

Hagerty covers all my cars except for the one daily driver. They even cover my 06 Mustang GT. The price I pay for three pickups and two antiques cars plus the Mustang is less that just the Mustang...

I wish I had know this a week ago, I was just through NC on 95 last Wednesday and I have tons of wheel weights I could have traded.

You must live in a wide open area! If I tried that here the fire company would show up in very short order.

See my post #14 where I quoted the uses of Indium.

What is a newspaper? I have heard about them as something OLD people used to stare at. :roll::roll:


Seriously, they just stopped delivering my paper 5-6 years ago and told me to look at it...

You would not use lead as a body dolly. It is dshaped a little like one but definitely not a body tool if it is lead.

Rotometals has super pure tin for 38.00 for a 1.1 lb. bar. Regular tin for 28.00 with a minimum purchase of 6 units.

If they ever settle my workers comp suit from 18 years ago I might have the money to move but I can't afford it right now. Then is the issue of the actual move, ten years ago I could have done a lot...

That was a great find, they look like 25 plus lbs. each. Toxic, yea right. I live in NJ and I have three superfund sites within 5 miles of me. A military missile silo where a nuke missile caught on...

NJ is great for changing the rules, about every two weeks. Even the cops have no idea what is legal and what is not at this point. My CCW is due this fall and I have to go through the same police QC1...

Interesting, I wonder if anyone has ever gone back down in those mines to do a visual survey? Or are they all flooded?

Slick 50! There is a name I have not heard for a long time. I remember putting that in a racing engine for dirt track racing to see if it helped. I didn't see any difference in my times but I did win...

Bazoo is correct, 3 lbs. of that alloy to 100 lbs. of wheel weights will give you pb 93-Sn 3.07,Sb 3.05,Arsenic .24, Cu.10.
Another way to look at it is 4.8 oz. to 10lbs.

BHN 12.3

Adding that to wheel weights would raise your Sb. which you would not want. This is an alloy that would be perfect to add to pure lead.

Evaporust is a Chelating process and I am pretty sure it cannot harm solid metal. I have had very good results with Evaporust on rusted old tools and threading dies. It did not harm the threads in...

Looking at those two pictures side by side you can see that little has changed other than the modern handling machinery.

It has been unusually cold the last week and a half so I hope they don't show up here yet but this is about the time they usually get here. Will need to get the feeders out and up just in case. They...

How many of you were drooling over all those lead bars as they were loaded into the railcars? I know I was. I also noted the safety harnesses in the mines! That was WAY ahead of it's time. I did see...

Funny that people in Delaware had stuff moving around and I am in NJ just a bit North-east of Philadelphia and I felt nothing. I was inside working on my computer and the ground is saturated from...

I don't want to start a war here but I can attest that staph toxins will kill you. I had a staph infection in my cervical spine and I died on the operation table as they were trying to get it all...

I own Ford, Chevy and Dodge diesel pickups, Likewise I have Lee, RCBS, Hornady and CH presses. They all get the job done.

I remember the C-Rats from Vietnam, most were dated back to WWII and Korea. But at that time you have to remember that WWII was only 25 years prior. Even then in the jungle heat and humidity, (Liquid...
