ominousone Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Has anyone tried powderpainting bismouth? I picked up some bismouth sinkers and would love to make em watermelon colored but didn't know if they would accept the color or not and if anyone had played around with this yet to find out if there are any hiccups I should know about.

ominousone Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 does anyone know the melting point for bismouth? Is it hotter or colder than lead? Im just worried about baking them and having it melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
