Metal dealers in my county won't take copper wire here due to thievery.
I was cleaning out my garage and found a large box of wire remnants of assorted lengths and gauges too small to be of any practical use (6"-3') so I stripped off the insulation and am wondering if I can cast it into ingots to trade in for lead. I have a nearly full coffee can of the stuff.
I've never tried casting copper, so what do I need to know about it?
What I have is an old Coleman 2 burner propane stove and cast iron saucepan and an aluminum "muffin pan" that does the job with lead, but with copper?
I thought I'd ask the wise folks here if this is even possible.
