@@elizabethphelps4392 You might be able to produce tiny globules along an edge which is indeed "melting" the gold, but a bigger chunk, no, and you wouldn't get any kind of good results pouring say an ounce into a mold. Even MAPP gas which burns 5300 F, much much hotter than propane or butane, is kind of a pain in the butt. You don't want to keep the torch on the work for 20+ minutes.

I don’t think that it will get hot enough. MAP gas from the hardware store will (yellow tank).

That ingot was in the top 10 ingots I've watched you pour, super lovely! The nice surprise at the end with the unexpected extra gold made it all the more cooler! And the gold solution was beautiful to boot after two passes through the filter! I don't know if that would stay true if I worked as a refiner, but those videos showing a basic refining are a real treat, they genuinely put me in a good mood. Thank you, Kevin!

The bigger bars are always the best looking.. And that one was probably one of the best yet that I’ve seen you do..

When you started heating up that big mold I knew it was going to be a glorious slab. I was not disappointed. Awesome.

wow... never ceases to surprise me that EVERY bar is never alike... looked at an earlier video of the ending to compare the bar pour rings, they never seem to appear in the same places, as if they've all got their own fingerprint of sorts, so unique. keep doing what you do sreetips, it has motivated me to start going around to any yard sales to gather up my own stash of gold scrap. heck I even wanna go panning for the gold.

Excellent April fool's episode!

It is kinda hard to tell by the video , but it looks as if your flame has intermittent orange and yellow streaks . That would indicate your torch torch tip is dirty . If that is so , you may want to clean your tip or it possibly could put impurities in your gold . Love your videos .

Just a tip, I saw a video in which this guy poured the inquartated gold into a nugget instead of pouring it into the water to make small granules. He then flattened that nugget using those rollers which jewellers use. He flattened the nugget as thin as a paper and then cut that gold paper with scissors to give it nitric boil. He was done with the separation of pure gold in just one nitric boil because the gold was paper thin. You should also try it imo.

@@sreetips True sir. The old KISS keep it simple soldier. Thanks again.

Try pouring the inquarted gold/sterling from higher up. You’re so close to the water and it’s so shallow that it’s still molten when it hits the bottom of the pan. A higher pour will give the molten metal time to “come apart” from a stream to individual drops that should stay separate from each other by the time they hit the bottom of the pan.

Very cool! How do you know when each nitric acid boil is complete? Looks like you still have nitric in solution when you pour off solution into silver jar.

Hey Sreetips, love your videos. I was interested in what you said about holding silver because of its value against the $. I was wondering why you often sell the gold you refine?

Love watching your gold refining videos. I noticed you don’t use the map gas torch to pre-melt the pure gold anymore, you go straight to the oxy acetylene. Was the map gas causing the unexplained skin on your pure gold bars a few months back? Also noticed the skin on the re-melt of some pure silver bars too. It was baffling me because it was just a remelt, you didn’t introduce anything new to the silver before melting it.

Hey Sreetips! I love watching your videos and have learned so much. Thank you! Something I was wondering is why you inquart the karat scrap to 75% silver / 25% gold and dissolve in nitric acid first to remove the silver, rather than inquarting to 25% silver / 75% gold and dissolving in aqua regia first to get the gold into solution and leave the silver behind. Is it simply because silver is more affordable than gold? Thanks!

@sreetips

Several reasons. 1) I have much silver that must be dissolved so why not use it to inquart? 2) there’s going to be a ton of silver chloride by going 75% gold and 25% silver/base metals.
