Richoc Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Gary that will never melt Alum. You can do Tin. They will be 1/3 weight in the same cavity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlybass Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Aluminum melts at around 1220 F. Lead at 621 F.Tin at 449 F.Tin should weigh 1/3 less than lead at same size.Or tin weighs 64% of lead and aluminum weighs 24% of lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
