Tin, where are you?
 

Hello all, first posting.

I was hoping someone could help me find a source for tin. Not soft white
metal, or tinplated steel, but the actual element Tin represented by Sn.
I am amazed at how hard it seems to be to find the stuff, I am stumping
everyone I ask. I will be using it to make bronze, so I must be sure
it's the correct stuff.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

http://www.theantimonyman.com/ladles.htm click on "Antimony" on the left
tool bar and scroll down to Tin. Then "click here to order" for info on pure
metals including tin.

Second hand - not sure.

First hand - and in various quantity - contact a company that sells
solder.

Try Metals in the yellow pages - or web - lots of sources.

Al solder is Sn - but Tin Lead solder in various alloys is common.

Tin and lead are normally sold by the brick for industrial soldering.
