Jay Whaley demonstrates how to use a convertible steel ingot mold, melting dishes, and a new wire handled ingot pouring tool, to create sheet and wire stock in sterling silver. An acetylene torch is used in this demonstration to melt and pour the silver.

Thanks so much for this vid Jay! I second Dreray's
questions, I thought that the crucible had to be coated
with borax ? also, I had read somewhere about prepping
the ingot molds with soot? any help is appreciated,
newbie here!
Cool video.... Couple of questions though....
/>1. Are the melting dishes glazed with borax? And
why wasn't flux added to the metal during melting?
/> 2. The ingot mold was preheated, but I didn't
see any oil, wax, or other substance "smoke" prior to
pouring. Is coating the ingot mold not necessary? What
about tipping the mold?
