[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 523175, member: 6570"] G'day nucopia You'll soon get the hang of it mate, and yes I always save the glass flux when I remove it from the gold bar or button etc and keep that all for later, crush it again pan off and add the small bits and fines to the next melt. I think that maybe the blow torch kept going out if the bottle outlet is on the down hill side, I find that the thing works better if the bottle is upright or at least slightly up hill if laying on it's side. The little button 0.34g you can keep adding to it also next time if you want, when i have a partly completed bar I just put it back in the graphite crucible and add more small gold when doing the next melt and pour. cheers dave [/QUOTE]
