Hi ,Mike -did you tin the inside of your copper pots?If so could you 
describe the process please?I'm in Australia ,would like to know the 
material used  for tin=ing .Not the trade name .Is it pure tin?What sort of 
flux would one use?What about handles.Did you put handles on your pots?
Trying not to sound demanding . I'm familiar with the raising process , and 
able to raise hollowware ,wish to make it as a 
present.                 Regards ,Bela Beke .
