Title: Lead, Pewter source
Post by: John Longwitz on August 04, 2008, 11:59:41 PM

Postman dropped off a 57# block of 99.99% pure lead today.  Ordered from Rotometals for $99.00 with free shipping.  They also have several grades of pewter, various bullet alloys of lead, and other metal in 9# ingots.  Took a week to get here in Atlanta from San Leandro, CA but that included them reshipping as my address was destroyed on the first box and returned to vendor.  I plan to order some pewter next as I consider them a reliable source now.

Its easier to just find 1 pound rolls of Silva-Brite 100 solder and use this. Its tin/silver/copper alloy, pewter disguised as non-toxic water pipe solder.
