[Jewelry making - Article 00229] - [Orchid] Using 14 KW

    Hello All, I have recently started using 14KW (H & S) and found
    myself short, so decided to melt the clean scrap and roll it out for
    my needs. On a charocal block with Borax I heated it only to have it
    slump into a pile rather like a nugget, and totally unlike yellow
    golds. It never seemed to reach liquidus. Pressed to complete the
    project I decided to go ahead and roll the lump out, and it looks
    okay. 

    Is this what I should expect or have a done something I might have
    done better? 

    Thanks in advance,
