Cast 281F tin/bismuth, inside 550F pewter molds? 2 Years ago  
I am wondering if any of you have tried casting 281F tin/bismuth; inside molds made of pewter. These pewters like Rotometals A/C and Hallmarks 92-8 melt at over 400F. Where 281F should melt at about 281F. I haven't any experience with those materials as yet. I am also wondering if they would release from one another without a parting agent.

I have just started playing with Bismuth and haven't tried any of the low melt alloys. I would like to get some Tin but the budget won't handle it for now. Too cold outside to do anything so I'm just working on inside projects.
