    In an effort to not kill my crucibles I've learned that once it's glowing I can turn the flame down or even off while i load more cans or scrap sometimes even covering the vent, it doesn't need to be on full blast the whole time. I'll turn the fire back on if the crucible starts to go dark on the top half or when the metal on top doesn't seem to be melting as fast....Good video though, that's the one thing I haven't been patient enough with, waiting for the borax to turn to liquid to get a good coat like that, I'm going to try this today with a fresh crucible i have. Thanks for sharing, I subscribed and liked, hope that helps!

    Great video
    In the uk borax has been banned so its pretty much impossible to get its just borax substitute
    anyone have any ideas if this would work the same? or anything i can use as an alternative? thanks

      Or put it in the foundry and slowly increase the heat when your done always let the crucible cool in the foundry.

      This is how i was taught to do it. My crucibles last a good while so I believe it helps.

      To make the crucible last longer. Also the boraxe helps to keep stuff from sticking to the crucible but mostly to make it last longer.
