Melting Pour Aluvian Gold
Melting Pour Aluvian Gold
Note; We also sell Hank Chapmans Book on Smelting. "How to Smelt Gold & Silver" look for it in
the DIY Books section
60% to 90% Gold needs 1 part flux to 1 part black sands & Gold. In other more
simple words if you have 1 shot glass full of Black Sands then add 1 shot glass
full of flux.
40% to 60% Gold needs 1-1/2 part flux to 1 part black sands & Gold. In other
more simple words if you have 1 shot glass full of Black Sands then add 1-1/2
shot glasses full of flux.
1% to 39% Gold needs 2 part flux to 1 part black sands & Gold. In other more
simple words if you have 1 shot glass full of Black Sands then add 2 shot
glasses full of flux.
Once you have your Black sands, Gold and Flux mixed together put into a
crucible and heat up to 2100 Degrees Fahrenheit and keep the Temp at 2100F
for 1 hour. This is to allow all the microscopic gold & other Precious metals to
collect together. Then pour all of your melted material out into a mold at one
time. The Gold Bar or bead will drop to the bottom of the pour. Allow the pour
to cool, you will hear cracking like glass shattering. Once cool you can then
bust off the slag. If you small amounts of gold it will be a bead towards the
bottom of the pour. If you have a larger amount then the Gold will be a bar at
the bottom and the slag/Flux will be on top.
NOTE* It must pour like water!! If not you will need to add Chapman Flux
Thinner (Flux thinner is Lime & Flourspar mixed 50/50 by weight) If your
results have specs of gold in the slag it could be that 1. You didnt keep the
temp up to 2100F. 2. You took it out early and not the full 1 Hour. Or 3. Your
material needs flux thinner because it poured out thicker than water.
Feel free to call us with any questions, there are no dumb questions. (Note, if
you use more than listed it will not hurt anything at all except your pocket
book)
