How can I pour bismuth without having everything full of pores? And even more interesting, how do you specifically color it into the desired color? I can't find anything about it and can't imagine how it's supposed to work.... But it's definitely the most amazing metal! 😊✌️
Final project in my "Chemistry of Art" class was to do a presentation on literally anything. I've always thought bismuth crystals looked cool, so I took a shot in the dark and decided to present on bismuth art. I didn't know of any bismuth art at all, but in my research I found this, and it's got me super excited. Seriously, why isn't this an established thing? You can literally paint this thing with a torch, it's brilliant. You are a genius
The questions are, can a person, diamond drill small holes in Bismuth, can one use diamond wheels to cut notches into Bismuth. and can carbide grit sanding disks be used to change some features? Or does it exhibit some of the similarities of tempered glass.
I was melting the stuff down outside in the front yard. Some stranger was passing by on the road and asked "Hey, what's that yer werkin' on?" and I said "Tain't none of yer bismuth".
