1. I have read and accept the classified system rules and terms of service.

I have pounds of this stuff that I will sell for $10 lb plus shipping. The Woods Metal I have is not from ROTO, it came from the hospital I retired from. I used ROTO's description for folks that are not familiar with it.

An ingot of Roto158F will average approximately 1 pound and consists of 50% Bismuth, 26.7% Lead, 13.3% Tin, 10% Cadmium. This alloy melts at approximately 158 degrees F.

Roto158F Fusible Alloy is used to anchor bushings in drill jigs, internal or external support of delicate parts for machining, cores for spinning, fusible mandrels in filament winding, fiberglass lamination, drop hammer and embossing dies, tube bending filler (up to 1 3/4" diameter), as a heat transfer medium in processing plastics, chemicals, etc. (up to 255 Degrees F), and shielding blocks for nuclear medicine.

Wood's metal, named for American metallurgist B. Wood, is also known as Lipowitz's alloy or by the commercial names cerrobend, bendalloy or pewtalloy

My add is a bit misleading. This woods metal did not come from Roto. It is pure woods metal and I copied from the roto site for information only.

Don't care about the source. It's the alloy that's important.
