When the lead has melted scape the solid dross that is floating on the top off and Bob's your Nana. Alternately, 419.5 degrees C (the melting point of Zinc) is enough to make your foreskin sizzle so you could drop your old fellah in the pot and as long as it is not sizzling then the Zinc should still be solid.

Yes but sometimes you just like to keep an eye on things, and know where you're at. Hence I didn't want a million dollar unit. While I was looking for one I found a donut hole gauge set, I'll spring ya a set
