NIGEL FORD Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Does anyone actually sell tin (Bismuth) cos its really hard to get hold of and really expensive if you can find a supplier. Tell me about it! It sure is expensive & there are loads of grades depending on how tin-rich you want it.Whats more it's expensive to send and heavy...are you planning on doing some home casting? Welcome to the Forum......Nigel Ford-proprietor of SCALEdown Models, white-metal casters of distinction (So I'm told by discerning model builders & collectors).

schw84 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thought I'd dabble in it i have nothing else to do in the evenings during the week, and am spending way too much money on ebay on models. I was just looking for somewhere to obtain it from. so any suggestions would be appriciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
