What is Wood's alloy? The thing is, I don't want any extra material getting into the expansion chamber or anything, so I have to be careful what I shove in there.

Wood's alloy melts at 158 deg F.
If you put a rag in first to plug the pipe, then pour in Wood's alloy to fill it. This makes it act as if it's a solid bar.
You get done doing your bends, warm the pipe, and it all runs out!
Neat stuff to use!

Where can you get Wood's alloy?
first off the "cut'n'welders" are right, second off if your pipe is chromed wear a mask when yer heating/welding (whatever you end up doing) cuz chrome is nasty on the lungs.
