Hello everybody!
Dissolving more types of pins in nitric acid, - I've already told you about a few types here on the forum - I got approximately 400 g of foils. Here are a few pictures of these:

As I already mentioned, I want to melt these foils and offer them to a refiner. I could use some advices from you in the matter of melting. I got this electrical furnace, which has a graphite crucible (1 kg capacity), here is the picture:

Who can tell me which are the steps in working with this melting method (electrical furnace) for me not to lose the foils obtained by sweat and a lot of fume.... of course.
What about melting fluxes?
I would want to melt in smaller amounts (max. 1 troy oz). Can I drop the melt in a bowl with water? The casting form is not so important for me.
Any advice is welcomed!
Thanks a lot!
