Hi all sorry to post again but I’m so confused!
I have a propane/butane mix torch which gets up to 1300 degrees. I ordered some chemically refined fine silver and popped 13g of it into my crucible to melt with a pinch of flux once the crucible had heated up enough.
The silver begins to melt, it turns red and glows but then goes white and stodgy and no matter how long I keep the heat on it, it doesn’t get any more liquid enough for me to pour!
My torch melted silver before hand so I cannot fathom out why it’s not working?!
I have made sure to only use 100% silver as I worried last time I tried and it didn’t work was because I may have used something stamped 925 but may not have been. I don’t think that’s the issue now as the silver iv tried melting today is 999% pure but also won’t melt! Any advice please? Thank you
