The "dross " is the only problem , thats the STUFF that floates to the top when it's melted . A wooden stick removes this junk . Thats where the loss comes in , you will be surprised how big that loss really is . Its the residue from the last 100 years of rotating & envrionmental effects .
Also we don't know what the % of materials in the origional is but today babbit is considerable better .
I personaly use Kapp #13 , a lead based babbit, Kapp Alloy & Wire.com , resonable price , fast delivery.

Re: Babbitt Bearings Pouring Video
I think it would be fine. I even use tire weights for mills that don't work, except for displays. But I keep the used babbitt seperate mostly.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number. IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE HELPS YOU, THEN BUY FROM HIM. IT CREATES GOOD KARMA.

When me and my brother pour we usually mix old with new.
