Thread: Flux and casting

Have fun, it is fun.
Bit of advice, dont think anything is 'dry' until it has been hit with a blow torch or left to dry on top of the pot.

The tiny amount of moisture in the 'grain' of the 'tool' (happened to me with a dessert spoon) is not visable but enough to cause a fright or worse when the tool is submerged into molten lead.

Long story short... hit everything with the gas torch before you use it.

Wear gloves, goggles and no synthetic clothes. Including synthetic shoes.

Save the injuries for another past time!
