Hi Bennie. I see the company suggest that you don't make leads more than 2oz but I saw a youtube clip were a guy pour 5oz leads. it seems if the lead is layering though.
The one question I have is I want to pour tin. Tin has a higher melting point than lead. I do believe tin will be no problem. But does it have a thermostat and can you get the temp upto 350 degrees?
If you are getting what looks like layers, it is cause by the lead at the bottom solidifying before the whole pour is complete. There is 2 things you can do to remedy this. 1 - heat up the lead a little more and 2 - make sure the mould is warm. A cold mould will draw the heat out of the lead immediately causing it to solidify.
