Maybe we can rename this thread the 2020 socially remote casting/smelting seminar ?
The time off because of covid-19 or the One9 that i have been calling it has afforded me some time to clean up/out and organize alot of stuff around the house and yard. In between more important things I set small blocks of time to get my alloy pit in check. Once done sorting the known alloys i worked on sorting and finding out what other batches of alloy are and found just over 100# of random scrap. This is what I think is among the mix. Most is lead that found its way to me and some tid bits from me that did not get labeled.
In the mix= Flashing, reclaimed lead shot, indoor range lead, wheel weights both clip on and stick on, some fishing weight lead. Now its already smelted into muffingots so i had to blend it. Now I will send the samples off to see what i have. My guess is a alloy some where in clip on wheel weight to lead shot wheel weight alloy?
So my quess will be -2% Sn, -3% Sb , 95% Pb
Going on memory and what i was told by the lead source
I have mostly wheel weight and Shotgun shot lead with some soft tossed in. i will break out the art pencils to get a rough gauge of the "One9" alloy later.
