  1. I use outer most a layer of aluminum oxide fire brick (home cast) then a lining of reflective 1/16th in. galvanized sheet steel, then rock wool saturated in Satanite. If I’m melting above 3850F I slip in a cladding of old thick (non-friable) asbestos house siding shingles from the 50’s. Same forge for 35 years!
  2. I shred the cans and compress that into 4”wx2”h discs to slow the smelt.. I also mix 1/2 & 1/2 with old aluminum window and door frames even strips of old school bus body Al. It creates a tolerable cast with sharp edges and few bubbles. Reduces polishing and filler welds needed after the cast and cleanup.
  3. xxxxx..... I should be hearing MUSIC?!?! ...xxxx!
