I've melted 24k gold and put into into a casting mold of a skull... polished it, labeled it, and it looks freaking beast in my wooden treasure chest. It was made from the purest gold... with my left over gold, I melted the rest and made a thick gold button for my cufflink. It is beautiful.

@@Brandon-qe5qs I recommend the graphite molds, I think I saw harbor freight selling em. Even if they only last a few castings it's probably worth it at their prices. You could try what I've tried, (epically failing). Make your own molds. My best success was using a clay sand mix I found on KZread, using styrofoam as the mold with the hot liquid metal vaporizing the foam. I just can't get the heat right making the molds in my oven. It's something you'll always know, how to make your own castings/molds but it takes practice.

If you use borax and move the torch around it will melt faster and help with impurities. Also, gold scratches easily so you lost weight on that wheel. We all start somewhere and im by far no expert. I enjoyed your video. Just trying to help you out.

Great video. Been collecting bits and pieces for years from yard sales and auctions. Maybe it's time.

Inquart with silver. Use nitric acid to remove everything but the gold. Then filter off the nitric. Put the gold in aqua regia with a few ml of sulfric acid then filter again. Drop the gold with smb then filter out the 24 karat gold. Melt the gold in your melt dish.

Those respirator filters are for dust particles not chemical fumes. But you don’t really need it anyway

Do the impurities burn off or how do you separate?

Actually, if you put all the gold pieces in the large round mold section and heat it up that way, you won't have to worry about the mess pouring it form the crucible, I watched a guy from another channel do that without flux and it turned out well.

That's cool thanks for the video #Happyscrapping

hi im so glad that you are both back its been to long not seeing you two on youtube

I recently went to a place to smelt some gold; 235 grams of it. I noticed after gold was melted, not all of it was poured out into the bar that was later given to me. I left the place thinking about why they held some back. Later I called to find out why some of the gold was held back. I was told that it was the borax part. Doesn't borax disepate during the smelting process? I somehow feel I got scammed. Please help.

Borax usually floats on top, and can be removed with muriatic acid. Did they refine the gold? If so, the base metal elements of the alloy will have been taken out, reducing the final bar size.

I have a gold medal. And I'm trying to see what tools do I need to melt my gold. It's like a fifty cent coin kind of size
