Heated on electric stove.  Melted with little bubbling.

At over 140 C (off therm. scale), a "rust" came off the can, turning the mass brick-colored (S1).

Weight after cooling: 29.20 g (lost 1.54 g).

Poured into beaker, washed can with a little H2O.

On cooling solidified into light brick orange mass, hard and adhering to the beaker.
