    When melting any karat gold besides 24 of course, I’ve always added a 50-50 weight mix of gold and borax. It cleans it up significantly.

    The Borax helps blend the metal and also helps to remove impurities. They stick to the Borax. Also, just to help, be carful if your melting of clasps that you remove the spring inside the clasp as it is not gold or silver, whichever you are melting. I made this mistake in the beginning of my melting endeavors. Best of luck, you guys are awesome.

    Awesome video! Just a FYI, after pouring, quench it immediately, gold solidifies quickly, and it will make it more dense. Also, it will make it more smooth when you pour and keep the torch on it for a few seconds.

    With all that mixed scrap there will be a fair amount of silver in the gold. Borax will take out some of the metals but not silver. Also, when you pour, re-aim your torch at the pour spout of the crucible. That will get you a smoother bar.

    • @PawnBrokerPickers
      @PawnBrokerPickers  11 місяців тому +1

      It’s fun but be very careful. One mistake and it could be really bad. Purifying gold is a crazy process that you pretty much have to be a chemist to complete. Good luck.

  • @masterofcents.8175
    @masterofcents.8175 11 місяців тому +8

    I noticed about halfway through that you made a comment about putting in a lot less borax. The point of putting in a 50-50 weight mix of borax and gold is to clean up the purity of the gold. Sometimes it can be a little more to clean up but you get better results. I’ve been melting my own stuff for well over 25 years. I do not do it professionally I have a small kiln like you do but from doing it from so many years and learning from others. It’s a lot better to clean up that gold. I’ve learned quite a bit in the last couple of years from Jason at Mount Baker mining and metals.
