[QUOTE="nucopia, post: 523186, member: 5588"] Gas was still on and heating the gold. What would happen was , I would start melting the gold and get it into a liquide form and then while still it was liquified I would try and tip the crucible to pour it into the mould but the gold would solidify as it inched towards the spout. Mayebe my fault in not keeping the flame constantly on the gold or not keeping the falme at the right distance to the gold or it could be i had too much borax in the crucible and it was sticking onto the bottom of the gold ?? Tried several times but each attempt gave the same result. [/QUOTE]
