About the crucible, is that the way it is supposed to work? By the way first [stt]think[/stt] thing I'll do is to clean it :wink:

Would an Hydrogen Peroxide Oxyweld @ 2850°C be ok for PGMs? It uses 90 Vol Peroxide and since there is no carbon it should be ok for Palladium too, unless I'm mistaken. Just out of curiosity but if it could work and is not too dangerous I might get a used one (still didn't even used my current torch, what a shame) and get a wesgo dish ready for Pt.
