Fat Ratz Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Try Hallmark Metal Corp. They carry a variety of lead free metals. I have bought small quanties from them to test. http://www.hallmarkmetalscorp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just_plugging_away Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 This may sound weird, but a long time ago I bought a bunch of old beat up pewter dishes, cups, and pans from a scrap yard. pewter is a fancy name for tin. I do believe there is a small percentage of lead in the old pewter ware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richoc Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Look under metals, welding, alloys, the phone book for supplier near you. Ask for sorces to call if they don't have it, should be able to lead you to it. Shop around before jumping in $ vary. But be ready for sticker shock. There are like 40 places to get it here in town, so these one near you. Also it melts at a lower temp than lead and doesn't shink as much in cooling. Buy a differnt pot to use it in.

Party Crasher Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have obtained it from junk yards in the form of tubing. I prefer new tin in one pound bars. I get mine from Acro Sales in Menomonee Falls, WI. 262-781-8940. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Companies for bullet reloaders (actually bullet molders) often have tin. One that comes to mind is Midway , but there are many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
