the difference between High renaissance paintings and northern renaissance painting. the high renaissance paintings were on a larger scale; the northern renaissance paintings were painted on a smaller scale b/c frescoes weren't allowed in churches.
Molten lead color. Hi all-I was doing some casting this weekend and noticed that I couldn't quite keep the color of the molten lead a shiney silver color (like quicksilver / mercury).Instead, it was more of a gold color, with a thin skin on the top.old is a good indicator of tin. pure lead will usually show a blue/purple color. put a heat barrier on top of your mix it will also help keep the oxides down and the temp more consistant. it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.
Antimonial lead with 2%+ Arsenic for base and pure lead with 1% Tin for the point might do it well with the heat/no quench treatment But really the color between linotype/pure is easily visible with heat/quench treatment to bring up the flashy surface color of linotype.'d still like to get an idea of the possibility of there being any kind of dye or other substance I can safely add to my molten lead that would give me the incidental effect of changing the color of my alloy when it becomes solidified.
