[QUOTE="kurrajong, post: 228302, member: 4228"] We have done this a few times, using old crucibles, carbon rods and a Tig inverter. You need to have the arc well above the gold, otherwisw it becomes plasma and is infused/splattered all over the inside of the crucible. I don't know why it would be considered dangerous Heatho. The main issue is you can create a shitload of extra work if the gold does go into the crucible. Crushing and panning it all takes time. No different to using carbon rods to gouge out bearings or bushings. Like everything it takes practice. [/QUOTE]
