[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 523187, member: 6570"] It's not your fault and not the golds fault, what happens is, with the crucible your using is not getting hot enough, it actually needs to get red hot as well, and with it out in the open you can't get enough heat into everything at the same time, ( had the same thing happen with that type of crucible), that is why I made the little furnace and use the round cylindrical graphite crucible like in my video. As you found out the gold cools to a solid very very quickly. cheers dave [/QUOTE]
