CASTING METALS
"Using the right alloy is essential in
achieving satisfactory casting results."
DUE
TO WORLD CONDITIONS AND MINES BEING SHUT DOWN IN CHINA,
THE PRICE OF TIN, PEWTER AND METALS HAVE GONE UP. CHINA HAS STOPPED
EXPORTING TIN DUE TO A MINING FLOOD WHICH KILLED OVER 300 PEOPLE.
PERU WHO ALSO EXPORTED TINS HAD A DISASTER AND THEY HAVE STOPPED EXPORTING
AS WELL.

Notes About
Casting Metals:
High tin content metals have excellent flow
characteristics with low melting temperatures.
The addition of tin to lead lowers its melting point.
The lowest and most desirable melting point (356ƒ F.) is
achieved with a 66% Tin & 34% lead alloy.
Metal should not be raised to over 670ƒ F, to
prevent mold damage.
Each of our listed ingots will cast approximately 5 or 6,
54mm figures.
