Re: Smelting time. Good bye wheel weights...

Wheel weights are near impossible to get around here. I ended up buying about 300+ lbs of recovered high antimony shot, size BB.
I believe it's between 5-6% antimony.
I've melted it down, fluxed and poured into ingots. I plan on adding mini muffin tin ingots of Pewter that I've poured around 3oz. To the pot at casting time to help mould flow.
Check your trap ranges for reclaimed lead and garage sales for Pewter to add in tin.
