Making an alloy that melts at 65 *C (Wood’s Metal)

Wood’s Metal is a low melting alloy consisting of 50% bismuth, 25% lead, 12,5% cadmium and 12,5% tin. It has a melting point of ~65°C and is often used for heating baths in the laboratory if temperatures above 250°C are necessary or also for metal casting objects at low temperatures as it would not melt a plastic mold. The lead and cadmium of this alloy make it toxic. Therefore you should not try this at home.
