As ever help and advice requested!
I have a source of sterling silver from a friend…..all sterling silver. All unwanted table ware and she is willing to let me buy this at scrap value (currently 43p per gram, I believe) this appears to be about 33% less than casting grain. Are there any extra precautions I should take using scrap rather than grain? I am looking to produce wires, round, square and rectangular section and hopefully some sheet. I have the Cookson budget roller. I realise a lot of annealing after hammering then annealing repeatedly after rolling is going to be de rigueur! I have also heard one should use borax powder……are there any recommended books on this subject available?
