Hi to all
With the help of you guys, I managed to refine a few batches of silver, over all around 1 kg of silver cement. I finally started to melt today in to buttons. I am using a map/oxy torch and melting in a regular crucible with a little borax. Once the buttons cools off a bit, i pry with tweezers from the crucible and let it cool. The problem is the button is partly covered with borax, which is very hard to remove when cold. Is there any way to get clean smooth buttons without the borax residue, or any method to remove the borax.
Thanx
