Lead free tin bismuth alloy
Worked great with every jig and sinker mold I tried!I used a Palmer hot pot and Do-it molds.The Hot pot runs too hot,the alloy started to turn black ,so I plugged it into a Dremel speed control to get the temp down to 350-400 degrees F.This worked much better at this temp.After many years of casting lead,this stuff is very different.It cast beautifully,even in cold molds!I found it difficult to remove from the molds,a small pliers became necessary.It's also quite brittle compared to lead,the casting sprues snapped off readily.I can now make leadfree tackle.Will be ordering more soon.

Just what I was looking for
This product was easy to melt and more durable than I expected. I cast a miniature with this without issues. Will purchase again.

Easy Low Temp Experimentation
I used this to try metal casting for the first time and had alot of success. Melted in a cast iron skillet over charcoal! I cast items into 3d printed plastic molds as well as silicon molds successfully.
