How To Melt Silver and Pour Into a Mold

Melting one troy ounce of silver and pouring from a ceramic crucible into a graphite mold. A max heat torch is used in this video to melt the silver, and a high heat torch is used to warm up the graphite mold, both using map gas.

That's possibly the best silver pour i've ever seen, at least without higher temps. thx!

I have found some rock containing silver sulfide in the mountain, please tell me how and with what acid can I convert silver sulfide into silver metal, with what materials should I dissolve it and with what materials should I precipitate it 🙏🙏

Hi there, great video! I am wondering where I purchase these moulds from? I found some but not sure if they will work with this heat, they are steel

Best tutorial for melting silver at home. Thank you

[HighPriestJoshua]

how did you shape the graphite, and where can you buy bulk graphite like that? and where did u get your silver bullion? thank you!

Is it possible to just put the silver shavings in the skull mold and melt it from there or will it not work that way?

Nice video your torch is a little too close when melting and what type of torch you using?And are you using regular propane or map gas or bernzomatic yellow propane tube?And are you using a hose or just a plain straight hook up to torch?

Hi Joshua. I have been melting silver for various projects. But I have not been able to get those crucibles to work right. I tried to do the borax trick, but the borax just melted in with the silver when I melted the silver.... What is the trick to correctly boraxing the crucible so the borax doesn't just remelt into the silver and ruin it? It ruined my silver and the crucible....

Please make a complete video in which 1 to 2kg silver and cadmium are being molten and poured into a mould.

Hello, what material is that mold made of?

[teristeinborn]

Hey Josh, I was just thinking about finally melting down my scrap silver. I’ve had the mold that has two sides. One is for sheet metal and the other is for different sizes of wire. Do you happen to know what the name of the spray you use for the mold? It’s used to prevent the metal from sticking to the mold? I want to order it and while I pretty much order everything from Rio you have to be totally specific on what you want when your ordering online. They’re system is definitely NOT user friendly! It’s not bad when customer service is there during the day. They usually know what you’re talking about. If you know, a quick response from you would be awesome! Thanks! Teri

Why do you not use Borax to season your crucible?

[weekendjail]

What brand of torch did you use for this?

[Craneop]

What’s the max amount of oz one would be able to melt this way before having to move to a different method?

I must have had my map pro torch on for 10 min and I cannot get the silver to melt!!
