Author Topic: Fun With Tin  (Read 706 times)

I set up a ghetto foundry today, consisting of a plant pot with a ceramic pie dish jammed into it, with a sheet of chicken wire stood on top. Using a load of toilet paper soaked in vegetable oil, I put the bottom half of a soda can on top and chucked a load of tin wire in, ignited the toilet paper and waited for a while.

After pouring it (with two sticks and immense difficulty) into a little plant pot dish thing, I've ended up with this blob of solid Tin, not too shabby for ten minutes of fannying about with hot metal.
