Good idea. If you're into tinkering with gun repairs etc. this will come in handy. I too saw Eric ( Iraqveteran8888) with that idea.

You're mixing up 2 different things. Cerrosafe is an alloy of 42.5% Bismuth, 37,7% Lead, 13.3% Tin, and 8.5% Cadmium. It's big advantage is that it has a melting temperature of only 165F. Which is way under the boiling temp of water, close to very hot tap water. It won't cause much expansion in the metal it comes into contact with, and it contracts when it cools, so it's easy to pop out of molds. Pure Bismuth, OTOH, has a melting temp of 521F, which is lower than the melting points of copper and steel and silver and things like that, but really isn't considered all that "low temp". Heck you'd be better off just getting some regular old 60/40 tin/lead solid wire electronics solder from Home Depot, or whatever your local hardware store is, that melts at 362F, than messing around with pure Bismuth. Now, if you've also got some Tin, some Lead, and some Indium($$$$) laying around, there's a lot of different cool very low temp alloys that you can make with Bismuth, but Bismuth by itself isn't all that useful. BTW, if you check that Bolton metals webpage a little more, you'll see that they also sell Cerrosafe alloy, and it's only $12.95/lb. And that's for real Cerrosafe from the company that invented it.
