[QUOTE="davent, post: 621887, member: 6002"] What have I done!!!?? I had a 38 gram bar, all shiny and gold, I need the injectors done in my hilux, so decided to add some more sub grammars to bring it up to 80 odd grams, then sell. But something has gone terribly wrong. I know the gold is good @ 92% but it's come out looking like lead. I re did it again, same result. Only added two tea spoons of borax, nothing else. WhT Have I done wrong. Melt temp was 1150.
