Scrap Pewter sold in 5 lbs lots - Ingots - Reloading - Casting - CraftsMelted down with a hot pot. Should be lead free the pewter is all from dishes and cups Food Grade items that are suppose to be lead free.Please note I work hard at making a quality recycled product. I would not recommend mixing the 5 pound lot with other pewters.
Not all metals types used in pewter melt at the same temp, some do not mix well with others.Pewter is an alloy (mixture of different metal) heating, mixing ect. can alter the alloy composition.
I have noted when mixing differentpewter compositions the melt gets lumpy or gritty soI heat up at an incline and drain the tin out.(update I now just stick in furnace and remove the dross making into 5 pound lots)( If not enough to make 5 pounds its remelted into the next batch)
Im working hard to improve my product for the best quality.
Its best to not mix pewters to save yourself from making needlesswaist when possible (Remember differentcompositions have different melting temperatures, tin can only hold so much copper as example to much and it hardens out at the lower tin melting point, leaving texturelumpy.
Keep in mind pewter is an alloy, tin is the main ingredient but may contain lead, silver, zinc, bismuth, copper or antimony.
I cannot test the exact make up of the pewter.
If you have any issues please contact me.
