I'm buying bar solder that is 50-50 tin, lead. Would like to use something safer. Just curious. Really like your Irish in French service and enjoy all your 40mm stuff. Need any men in picklhaubes?...

About 10 years ago I bought a spin caster and vulcanizer which I'm embarrassed to say that I've never managed to used as I've never managed to build the shop area I intended, - plans change. I bought a sizeable quantity of ingot of 3 different types, a hard pewter, a softer white metal and a soft lead allow. Each box had a post-it with the chemical abbreviations. After several years in the celler, the post it notes fluttered away and I don't know which ingot is which. But I suspect these were done with the intermediate alloy. Not as good as PA special blend but 1/2 the price and I have enough left for a decade or two yet. Might even get the spin caster set up one day...
