 hasn't scratched yet..
Bon Ami, the cleanser found in many kitchens. It sounds like it could be a flux/reducing agent for smelting, melting and maybe welding. The ingredients are simple. sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate and feldspar, with a bit of organic detergent. I was wondering if you could heat it up to burn off the soap, and use it as described?? Thoughts? Last edited by Glenn; 08-19-2008 at 08:17 PM. Reason: Please No Naughty Language  |

The same store that sells Bon Ami sells 20 Mule Team Borax which is excellent flux.

I was just wondering if the feldspar and calcium carbonate would be good together in the reduction of iron ore. Feldspar can be very aggressive, (a good thing at times). The idea as a welding flux was just extra. |
