<p>[QUOTE="trevor, post: 1824591, member: 58688"]I have done this and made more than a few bars of sterling out of old silverware. Mapp works a little better but for the price difference it isn't really worth it. Propane works fine up to about 6 ounces in one continues pour. I found it easier to hold one torch on the bottom of the crucible and one on top pointing directly down on the liquid metal. Just make shore you keep heat on the metal near the spout of the crucible as you pour. This keeps it in a liquid state all the way into the mold. And remember a fast controlled pour is essential[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
