    Most crucibles are somewhat porous and the pickle will get into the
    body of the crucible and you cannot rinse it out.

    There are already so many variables to contend with to get excellent
    castings why add a new problem when it is not necessary. My original
    point was that with the relatively low cost of a crucible why not
    just replace it. I use my old crucibles to melt my scrap for
    refining once they are too messed up they go in the low grade scrap
    barrel for future refining.
