#2 alloy from pure lead
I was wondering if anyone knows what I should add to pure lead to make #2 alloy. I have some pure lead "jumper" used to connect batteries in series in substations.
I currently use wheelweight but want to put this stuff to use.
Thanks,
Lucio in S.A.

#2 alloy is 90% lead 5% tin, 5% antimony.

4# Linotype
1# 50/50 bar solder
5# pure lead

or

9# wheelweights
1# 50/50 bar solder

Either of the above makes 10lbs of #2 alloy
