I was looking at a couple of videos about making your own furnace with propane/butane burners and perlite/Sodium Silicate insulation. Is that a viable option for melting gold powders from SMB-drops?
If so, would it be better to go for a horizontal or vertical design? The horizontal would of course have to be substantially bigger to accommodate the crucible, so I'm thinking a vertical one is better and has a higher efficiency.
Has anyone tried making one of these with Perlite?
