[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 203198, member: 357"] with my formula it quite simple, Borax creates the right environment to melt gold i.e. heat and fluidity the soda ash works by creating a protective layer which holds back the atmosphere which forces oxidization which you don't want whilst smelting. Think of the surface of your melt constantly being attacked by cold molecules which shatter on the surface. really its something you need to have a play with, my first few melts where with propane and a ramekin, then i discovered map pro and borax if you ahd nothing else these two items will get you to 98% but you will still need to catch that fine stuff before you can melt it. as has been said above read read and read some more, nonone here will be able to summarize it for you [/QUOTE]
