heeeeeeeyyyyy
u tryin to put me outa business

but seriously, those are nice. dont use steel wool if at all possible. use a really good polish or auto compounding paste and you will get them to shine like nothing you have ever seen, and u can keep doing that indefinitely, and when they are all dinged up, just melt them back down re-pour them in the mold . Tin is great, it only goes bad when you lose it.

Very nice, but I need to have a closer look!

TM, thanks but I am hardly a serious tin maker and my molds are crude compared to the ones you guys use. Just wanted to try and make a few myself. I think I have a bunch of yours...mine are no comparison.

Thanks for the tip about polishing. The first thing I did was take steel wool to them, I should have used a finer wool, what I had on hand scraches. I will go with the compound paste next pour.

Bernzy, I will send you a small package for your closer inspection. Don't get your hopes up, they don't have that professional feel to them...more of a father and son weekend garage operation .
