[QUOTE="jethro, post: 608853, member: 1297"] Looks as though you didnt get it hot enough or use a fluxing agent, Good plan is to remove all the magnetics first. Then add about the same weight in anhydrous Borax. and a fifth weight in bicarb soda, Then melt, pour into a angle iron mold greased with a bit of candle wax. Turn out the ingot into water while its still very hot and the slag should fall off. :perfect: [/QUOTE]
