Not all ingots are shaped like those in the pics
Difficult to work with for fine detail applications! Due to thicker viscositywhen melted. This mixture of pewter has a large metal crystal structure. ( can see metal structure by breaking you will need to put in vise and hit with sledge hammer to break an ingot)Expect this white metal to melt at Greater than Fine pewter temps of 400 deg. I melt with propanefurnace 800+ deg see pics for details.Harder pewter type alloys melting at higher temps. Has my other pewter scrap listing (Fine Scrap Pewter) for low temp pewter if that is what your looking for. Melted down with a hot pot."" (sells out fast - when available)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.
The pewter is all from different sources from Trophy's,Lamps, to picture Frames.
I'mworking 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.
