If it is a true eutectic, you can put it in an oven set at 425F - 63/37 SnPb
melts at 361F. If you have a ladle and are VERY careful with appropriate
PPE, you can transfer it to your new pot. If your old pot has a "drain" set
up, again, with proper PPE, you can 'dump' it into the new pot. Obviously
At work we salvaged a large amount of silver solder from a failed solder pot by
using mapp gas instead of propane on the surface. That choice was driven by the
shear amount involved. Propane would have worked just fine.Regards,

It won't even do that if you fly wide open throttle - which if above 8K I
assume everyone does.

Lead can be melted with direct application of a propane torch. That does
tend to oxidize the lead, so you do get more slag. Solder is a mixture of
lead and tin. These will oxidize at different rates under the torch flame.
That could change the mixture ratio of the solder. Maybe not a big dea

That is exactly what I did, plaster of paris molds that were baked in
the oven to get the moisture out. I think I made the initial male mold
out of wax if I remember correctly then poured on the plaster of paris
