    Questions on more casting fun. I've decided to try pouring some
    silver in the metal bucket of water. The only crucible I have is the
    one that fits in my centrifugal caster. I'm thinking I could hold it
    in my tongs and melt right in there and pour out the little hole.
    Would there be any reason this wouldn't work? Also I've got scrap that
    has a liver of sulfer oxidation in deep grooves. Should I attempt to
    get that all off before melting or might it work without bothering
    with that? If I were casting with it I'd of course have clean silver
    and use half new grain, but for this I want to do it the 
    easy way since it is an experiment any way. Your thoughts?      Annette
