Go to ebay, it's cheaper. I just use wheel weights. When they get hot enough, I skim the zinc off the top. It's great when I can get stick on wheel weights. They are pure lead. Some are Zinc, they are marked 'Zn'. Did I mention these are free from most any car repair place? Semper Fi.Next time I order lead from Roto Metals I’m going to order a chunk of pewter @deerstalkert. I have never fooled with it before, but I want to try pouring bolsters.
Any tips on identifying pewter items in thrift stores and junk stores?i go onto their sight fully intending to buy a couple pounds. get it into my cart and choke. seems like a lot of money for a pound .
been living with a Scots woman too long i guess.
i lurk about in thrift stores and buy whatever they have in pewter, cast it into ingots and stamp them so i won't cast Round balls with it.
usually gray in color and has no ring to it when tapped. also sometime has a stamp or cartouche of some kind.Any tips on identifying pewter items in thrift stores and junk stores?
