  1. Well, safety gear, don't have any other than my black smiting apron. I made me a small flask and I am using fine beach sand and oil I mix. The object I am making is very small about 2" long and a inch wide. I been watching 100 or more youtube videos for over a year now. The heat( this so nice to be able to talk to some one) 10% over the melting point or more? I have the temp of 1983 deg. for copper. 10% will be 2176, would that be good or make it even outer?
  2. Hello, I am new to casting and about ready to make my first cast. I have one of the electric furnace for melting metal. I am starting out with copper. When I start to melt the copper should I set the furnace at the temp that copper melt at or 5 or 10 deg. highter to make sure the copper will melt? thank you
