I'm a knife-maker and when you first showed us your version of starlight, a forge liner was my first thought, but I never got around to testing it. Glad it will work.

Your channel is like 5 minute crafts two good to be true stuff, but it is true and the most awesome thing ever

I've always wanted to test out some metal melting but never got enough money to buy a decent forge.
I'll definitely test this out!
You're a genius.

I love that you took the time to create ur own take on starlite and made the recipe free, public knowledge. Thank you so much

Biscuit recipe looked lit until he added borax. :D

[lrmackmcbride]

One trick to extending the foam life would be to coat it with low sodium milk of magnesia. It will dry and fire to a magnesia coating. Magnesia made in this way will have a melting point in excess of 2500C. Adding a little borax will lower the melting point but make the coating more durable in handling. You can apply several layers and build up a very durable coating.

Oh heck yeah. This is super handy information to know, super useful, super cheap (like omfg how is it possible it only takes like $15-$20 and like 20 minutes to make this stuff?!) Thank you an absolute ton for sharing things like this with all of us. I've already written down the recipe for this homemade 'Starlite' recipe into my mad scientists notebook as well, and again thank you!

Ben, I just want to take a sec to thank you for all for time, hard work, awesome content and overall just being a cool guy. Thanks for the Education and entertaining content love your channel man and might I say I love you as well!!! Keep on trucking man thanks again!!

FYI. If you can’t find a metal coffee can you can definitely find a metal paint can. They sell empty ones at home improvement stores if need be.

Used this to build a forge and used it as a furnace too: I was able to melt silver in this thing! This is amazing, paired it with some cuttlefish casting and literally anyone can get going

Who would win at reinventig starlite? A couple of billion dollar chemical corporations or a youtuber with 20$ of grocery items.

[lordfarquar]

Nighthawk you're brilliant and the smartest youtuber I have ever watched, I love how you are so humble that you answer our questions and comments, and not only educate us on how to make something but also to explain every little detail of the science behind it, I truly love you.

As a long time blacksmith who started making gas forges in the early 1980's and who made a large variety of things, I look for sturdiness in a forge liner. If I can't maneuver odd shaped pieces in and out of the forge without damaging the forge badly, it is useless for a lot of the work I've done. That said, it would be useful for forges used for a lot of knife making and work that is easily put in and taken out of the forge. I will make a forge for small work and see how it works for me. Great idea! I rally like your experiments.

[soulhunter]

I've been thinking about trying out blacksmithing and for starters I'm worried to overspend if the experience doesn't turn out positive and i end up moving on, this would certainly help keep cost down and ever since you published the very first starlite video I've thought of this specific application for it. I really am grateful for your work on this matter.

Hopefully this will be one of many projects around this material, cheers!

In my DevilForge, I can have molten aluminum in 12-15 minutes from cold.I have a few videos on my channel of it melting and the speeds it will melt. I will have to try your design out for some smaller projects. It looks like a super easy and cheap design!

[danielmiller]

You made a fantastic video here. “Inexpensive” here really was inexpensive! Thanks!! I really enjoy all your videos.

[Psysium]

Your commitment to accessibility makes me so happy.

[AnzelmoficationRCP]

Thank you, thank you so much. I was just getting into knife making and was trying to see how to get a forge for cheap when I got the notification for this video.

1:15 that cans also one that you can buy for canning foods I want to say it’s a number 10. Thank you for the video.
