Casting in slate moulds

Thank you Brian, it does look good. Our major Arms dealer has this one on offer for 103,- €. Which is good compared to Amazone. Only worried about the Minimum load capacity. My guess is it needs at least 1 Kg of alloy which can Never be used for Casting. A bitter fact as the Price for the needed high quality Metal has recently raised to all times hights . Anyway certainly worth considering.
Thank You
Regards
Wolfgang

Brian:
For many years I have used a Lyman big dipper with KA low melting tin, the one your looking at is just not big enough




 

WolfgangBonn:
Thank you both. I used to own a Lee melter but had no luck with it. The outlet never stopped Leaking and the design was useless as the room inside of the melter was blocked by some release arm for the button valve. I am about to get one from EBay similar to the one I posted in my initial Mail. The seller will post from a german adress within days. The specs appear to be slightly better than the PA one (Watt, Control dials etc.). At about 50€ not that much of a loss if things do go wrong.
Regards
Wolfgang

Joerg:
I use Lee Precision Melter.

It is developed for fishing and shooting practice,
but works fine with rather small amounts of alloy.
BUT - you need to buy a bigger melting pot.
I bought my melting pot from Berliner Zinnfiguren, but it is no longer available.

John Alberts:
Best of luck, please follow up with your selection and results!  Am curious how it turns out.
