I have some lead ingots and tin ingots. Do create a 65/35 lead-tin alloy, do you simply weigh each to the correct ratio and melt them together in a furnace and stir ? Or is there more to it than that ?

Hi, I was using the shipping calculator, and for a delivery to qualify for “large envelope” it must be no more than 15’x12’ and 3/4” thick, max weight 13oz.  My letter is only 6.5” x 9” and 1/4” thick, weighing 2oz, should come out to $1.00 even.

The post office keeps telling me that I have to ship it as a first class package because it’s more than 1/4” thick, and because there’s a small bulged area (1/4” about), I guess they think I’m trying to send merchandise.

The only delivery method that can be no thicker than 1/4” is a regular letter, while the large envelope can be 3/4” thick. I don’t know if they don’t know their own policy from their own website, or if they’re playing games with me. I can’t afford to pay $5 every time I mail something.
