Lead does a great job along with brass. Made some pretty intricate lines. you need a carpenter or bull ant hill with a large enough entrance, metal will solidify to quickly before reaching all the tunnels.
I used a propane cook stove 150,000 BTU's to melt the metal.
Have fun, watch for blowbacks if you pour to fast, keep the kids away until cooled.
