Greetings,
How do I add rows to the SpreadSheet such that my Custom Alloys can be selected?
Cleaning up the shop, I have 20 batches of Alloy with varying composition.
Example, if I add row above and, insert my Custom Alloy the calculator fails.
Cheers,
Dave

I have found myself in your position twice over the last forty years, that is with varying amounts of a dozen or more different alloys underfoot in the shop. Unless your records are a lot better than mine, the real content of some of them will be questionable so trying to mathematically compute what the final mixture will be is tough or impossible.
Both times i dumped the whole mess into a large pot so I had one uniform batch. To get. a hardness that was useful for my shooting, I once had to add scrap lead and the other time linotype. This wasn't an elegant solution but it worked.

Greetings John,
Thanks for the reply.
I used to mix batches using a 2 cavity mould as a reference. Too heavy a bullet, I added Tin or Babbitt. Too light, I added Lead.
I now have access to an XRF analyzer and my goal is to convert all my oddball alloys into LinoType.
I generally cast with LinoType or 20:1 alloy.
The last suggestion I received was to edit the alloys on the spreadsheet with my alloys.
Cheers,
Dave
