Frank.

I have always wondered how they can add mercury to the hot lead when mercury boils at around 650 F and evaporates at a much lower temp.
I Understand why they used mercury to amalgamate the tin and antimony to harden the lead but I always wondered how they could get the mercury mixed before it turned to gas or ?? blew like water turning to steam??
