I want to melt 100oz of silver and pour it at one time into a piece of art. Is this possible? I understand I don't need to pre-Flux the new crucible, but I need to add borax to the melted metal. Is adding 10 oz of silver at a time too much or should I add less? How long after it is taken out of the furnace do I have to pour the silver? 60 seconds? I have a slurry/flour ceramic mold. Can it be cold? If not, how hot, will 250f degrees be ok? 500F? Will the tongs be sufficient for the weight?

Answer This Question

100 ounces is too much. A 3kg crucible can melt about 50 ounces, and it takes about 40 minutes to melt 50 ounces.

I see that it states it takes 45 minutes to heat up and melt, but a reviewer said it took 2 hours. How long does it actually take to heat up and melt metal?

Answer This Question

This depends on how much metal is put in. Without adding metal, it takes 30-35 minutes to heat up to 1100 ℃. Depending on the weight of the added metal, it takes 40-50 minutes.
