    A good substitute for a graphite rod is the ordinary pencil. It might
    ignite, jus be careful. Yesterday I finally set up my casting
    equipment: a small dental inlay furnace and a small Torit vertical
    casting machine. I waxed and invested a ring with 14 year old never
    opened cristobalite (the manufacturer said it had a shelf life of 2
    years!). Casting came out great. Used what is called technique
    metal: it does not roll when ready to cast, you have to poke it with
    a pencil to verify full melt. Anyway it worked.
