Melting Crucibles-
Made of clay bonded fused silica for melting temperatures up to

Their protective heat holding covers make them efficient for
melting with a torch. An excellent choice when melting bench sweeps
or gold in powder form. See Burno
Tongs.
Borax Flux-
Controls oxidation during the melting process by forming a glass that both
covers the metal and causes metal oxides to stick to it.

Nu Cast- Gives old scrap
gold new luster. Used during the melting process when casting to revitalize
old scrap yellow gold. There's no flux needed and it helps eliminate
porosity due to oxidation. One bottle makes 2 oz, which will cast
approximately 800 dwt. of gold.

Re-Cast-It- Add Re-Cast-It when casting old or scrap gold to achieve a
bright yellow, porosity free casting. Increases fluidity of old metal,
while eliminating reddish surface discoloration. One jar casts
approximately 800 dwt. of gold.
