I have some ideas of tins I'd like to try to make for the canal along the lines of some of my dad's old lead drails. I know in the ditch the lead would not hold up so I was thinking Tin may hold up better but I don't know much about tin except that its supposed to melt around the same temp as lead and hold up better.

Anybody work with it before? Where would I look for tin to experiment with? Also, any idea if its cheap or expensive compared to lead?
