Buying tips

## Buy it with confidence.

What to ask for in the RFQ and check when goods arrive.

  * Ask for lead content if parts touch drinking water, food or skin, and specify low-lead or lead-free brass where needed.
  * For décor, agree finish and lacquer, and test tarnish resistance on samples.
  * Verify the alloy by XRF on arrival, because brass composition varies with the scrap mix.
