getting hold of metal in Australian market

[gregsoulsby]

Hi
I have chased some of the suppliers in the Australian market with not much luck. Can you suggest the best approach to getting hold of 1 kg?

Thanks

I will inquire about that. Australia is murder on postage.

Hi,

Try Bunyan Films / Make your Mark art supplies in NSW. url - www.shoalhaven.net.au/~bunyanfilms/

Casting stuff at www.shoalhaven.net.au/~bunyanfilms/Casting/Casting.html

They have white metal and lead free alloy. I've ordered from them a few times and its only taken 2-3 days to get to the ACT.

Happy casting

Not sure of things over there but you may want to try some of the things I do here in the USA. If there are gun ranges there, ask if you can have any lead from the bullets fired. If they balance tires on cars like they do here they use lead for the weights to balance. Then rip them off when rebalancing. They to may let you have as much as you want and possibly free. Then try bars, lounges or taverns. Ask what they do with the top wrappers of wine bottles. That used to be lead but has been slowly changed to plastic. Always watch for people throwing out car batteries. If they are the lead/acid type, you can get a lot of poundage from just one of them.
