I just want enough to raise the percentage of Tin in my lead
wheel-weight alloy to make it flow better. My scrap guy doesn't ever
get Tin, it's hard to find around here. Need some wire brushes?



I could use some tin too, but not hundreds of pounds.
Iggy / Tom - put together a joint purchase?
How much do we have to buy to get the guy to sell?
Any other lead casters here?

I still have access to linotype metal in ingots - I can ship 60 pounds
in a flat rate box - this seems to be a favored alloy. contact me via
the email on my web page (www.wbnoble.com) if you are interested
