I've been melting silver and gold for over 15 years,but had a terrible time the other day,melting an ingot.It was for a pendant 60mm x 30mm 1.5mm thick. I had to remelt it 3 times,and there was still a hole after rolling it down,that I had to solder.
When I think about it,I was never really told how to melt metal,Just shown it vaguely and then got on with it.
I've seen on ganoksin Giacomo melting silver filings and mixing borax and salt.I emailed him a while back,but didn't really find out what it was for.
Any of you guys come across,a more scientific method to melt metal.
