Borax To A Clean Silver Pour 

+++ Silver Dust! That was pretty cool! 👍👍👍

Hi SalivateMetal, I am a jeweler for about 25 years casting and pouring ingots of silver. I can make a few recommendations for you to try. Borax powder will work but will tend to blow off from the air force of the torch. Try mixing it with a little water into a paste. Personally, I use Boric acid mixed with denatured alcohol. Both boric and borax melt into a boron glass preventing oxygen from attacking the metal. You can't use too much... the more the better actually. Finally, try not to boil the metal. Silver can burn leaving tiny bubbles called porosity in the surface leaving dull spots. Using a slightly softer flame will help too. Best regards

I don’t know what silver hair is but I’m fascinated by how cool this video is . 😎 I did my first silver pour yesterday. And I over glazed my dish so I was researching how to glaze a crucible and this popped up . Hmm silver hair . Way to freaking cool 😎

Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 Crazy 🤪 uncle Sal.

Never heard of silver hair but it sure was fun watching it melt. Great looking pour.

Very cool thanks for sharing! Silver has jumped by over $1 an ounce today, headed to the moon!

I had first thought I heard you say the group was going to melt our fellow RU-vidr Silverhair stacker! Great silver pour. Thanks for sharing!

HA! Hey Sal! Thanks! i'm just learning how to pour and this was AWESOME info!!!!

Wow! That turned out great Salivate. I'd buy that bar as it is. Great job.

Wow, it turned out great! Very nice!

Better intro, go back to that one. I hope Santa brings me a silver dust buster

Thanks for sharing Sal. Fun vid.

Great video buddy, that was really cool. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! All i seen was all the jewelry the lady was wearing wow!!

Merry Christmas Sal Don’t eat the silver dust

"stamp this sun of a biscuit" :-) cool video as always.

Very cool video. Pretty nice bar as well.

Awesome video

Nice pour.It's a nice looking bar.

Cant wait to see the stamping!!

Jesus does that lady need any more rings? That was hilarious! She could barely move her fingers lol

Great video my friend! Awesome!

That's so cool! I wish i could melt my own silver.

Looks great

Awesome!

No worries...Will send you some more Silver Hair after my next haircut! Neat bar...!

Stamp that son of a biscuit hehe. Very nice my friend.

Very nice Sal 😃

Should have melted some of those rings the person was wearing. Way to many rings. Lol

i never get tierd of these videos. i wonder how that lady would feel if you melted all her rings lol great video my friend

Okay thank you look forward to your next video

On location with Salivate Metal. Would love to have a job making silver bars. I would never get tired of work. Waiting on the mail, tracking two 1 oz silver coins, 2011 Canada silver Wolf ( to complete that set if no milk spots) a 2015 Rwanda Water Buffalo, and a 1992 US Silver proof set that I got for a great price. All three in separate packages arrive on the same day.

I never tire of watching the process. Does the bar have any heat left in it by the time its pulled from the water?

If you buy poured silver bars... as I have done, this video makes me wonder how they can make so many of them. It takes quite a few minutes just to make that one! How would they make 50 or 100? And how would they pour exactly the right amount needed per bar?

Would like to ask a random question why do we never hear about white gold

Is there something instead of borax

nice bar metal man.

What did you spray the mold with before you poured the silver into it?

That's all that's left of a fine old Texan.

Nice chunky bar. Will you polish it up or leave as is? How fine is silver hair?

I haven't found much info on how much Borax to use for each occasion. A general guideline would be nice.

How do I get the borax and whatever else off the poured silver?

do you have to use borax or is it optional

Which mix comes except Borax. What is the name of the other elements? Thank you

🤙

why are you putting Pops in the crucible?

nice

Where dose silver hair come from? wires?

🍺

what product does the silver hair come from? cats?

Yeah, as Rebel said: stamp that son of biscuit

This might be a stupid question. Where dose silver hair come from?

What was sprayed into the iron mold just prior to pouring?

Southern accents! You need some banjo music!

It looks like Cotten candy when you lick it

Are you a teacher and you should have done an melting of gold while you were at it the young lady had some bling goin on !!! LOL

Is it normal for a 12 year old to want to start his own foundry and sell it?

Silver fur balls?

Warm and 🔥 😂 just how I like my women

4:34 - how much gold Jewelry You Would Like To War? - - All -

Can you plaease say " wanna know how I got these scars?" Please just once....Your voice is so joker like. Lmfao Maybe I've watched to much gotham...but over all... I've been melting the same piece of silver adding on to it when a new chuck arrives. But does borax help take the impurities straight to the top? Easy to spoon off the gunk?
