<p>[QUOTE="lakebreeze, post: 107820, member: 2720"]I think your right, lead melts easily, years ago I used to fix machines at brewerys and some of the older crude machines had lead bearings which due to the softness of lead had to be replaced often. We just melted the lead with an acyetelene torch in a cast pot. Then we would pour the lead into the bearing cavity and hold in place with what was called elephant sh-t, yah thats what it looked like. I dont think melting copper or silver would require anything more than a pot and a torch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
