Size or shape... Well, I'd love to get my hands on a piece that would fit
perfectly inside a soda can... But realistically, any shape that's fairly
uniform and not too sharp is fine.

The only thing I'd potentially have access to is slender bars, around
1/2" square by 2 feet long - stock that's destined to be rolled and
drawn into wire.

I believe what's been said here, and
I'll be happy to pay in advance once it comes to that point.


I did ask about prices and learned that the current price for ingots
is around $60 to $70 per kilo. I didn't get to the guy who sells the
scrap, but I'd guess it goes for around half that, which would make it
about 1-1/2 times the price of carbide scrap.

Sounds great! 1/2" square by 2' long would be fine. I am guessing they
would weigh almost 1.9 kilo or a little under 4.2 pounds each? Unless my
math is rusty...? One of those would be perfect! So, I'm guessing it would
cost around $65-70 before shipping? Very reasonable.
