Torches

Torches are an affordable and easy way to melt down gold and other precious metals, as well as performing other and tasks such as brazing, welding, and repairs. It is important to educate yourself before melting down your own metals. There are many hazards and variables when using an open-flame torch, and safety should always come first. Make sure that you have proper heat-resistant safety equipment and a strong understanding of the overall process before you begin. When using a torch method for melting, you first place your material or scrap into either a graphite or ceramic crucible dish. Place the crucible on a fireproof surface or heat-resistant board and then use your torch to apply heat and melt your material. We also recommended adding a flux such as anhydrous borax to your melt!
