Cerrobend ingots

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Cerrobend ingots

#1 Post by zipgun »

I've just seen this in the classified of another forum i frequent .. I do a bit of Ali casting, but this alloy melts at just 80 degrees , and when i googled it , it can be used for making quick dies / dollies to get dents out of panels ..expensively though ! Or fill thin walled tube prior to bending... I want some to lick and play with ,(its poisonous :shock: )but not at that price ! My dad had some solder for whitemetal models that melted at a low temperature like this. http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/classif ... sp?ad=9734

The Warco milling machine on there isn't a bad price either !

Considering what is in there, no wonder it's toxic and expensive
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner
