Dude.. why not use gloves and goggles? This crap is hot like.. like red hot metal!

[Wilson1592]

@Zalamedas Tin actually melts at a low temperature, so it's not hot like steel or iron.

[Wilson1592]

@Wilson1592 Whoops, thought they were melting tin, my bad. 

[Zalamedas]

@Wilson1592 Oh.. well.. still hot xD

[leoeo1999]

@kungopus its just a low burning common metal

[Breathor]

@multigunlover Thats what you get for calling soda "pop"....

[ExplosionSadFace]

Jeez,Just think if you put your hand in that

[VonZegen]

Outstanding stuff! Personally I prefer using a hole in the ground, but it all seems to get the job done. What did you use for a crucible?

[BlazinColdStoned]

Can i use regular yard sand to make a mold?

[filitalian]

How many cans does it take to make an ingot?

[Tenbed]

@filitalian That would depend on the size of the ingot in question, but that's beside the point. it would take 20 to 30 cans for an ingot 5" long 1" thick, I don't know exactly, so my measurements are most likely off.
