Ok first post and need some help please. This was only my 3rd melt -- electric furnace -- half way through the melt we had a power cut overnight. The next day i just fired the furnace up again added a little more borax and got up to 1150 for 45mins, but the when i went to pour into the cast it was still not melted, left it for another 20 mins and still the same. I am now left with a graphite curcuible with 100g of gold stuck to it -- any help would be great -- i can not work out why it did not melt -- furnace is all good after power cut -- checked the temp out ect -- any help would be great.
I have looked on the forum for anything like this but did not find anything that is why i am asking -- thanks.
