Recently I processed blown fuse links from ceramic fuses with links embedded in sand.
Came out pretty well.
I'm wondering about the small amount of insolluable white salt that came out, is it LEAD or ?
Also noticed small amount of what appeared maybe as jelly tin in the nitrate, small amount was easy to deal with.
The dissolved silver nitrate had very light blue, tells me the silver in these fuse links was pretty pure percentage.
The fuse links I measured and separated the burned up sandy stuff best I could.
Also a test bead of 8 grams button did not dissolve, it must of got a coating on it.
The links took a couple hours with small doses of nitric applied slowly.
The sand and the links were processed seperate.
I did lye and sugar method.
EDIT: The teflon stir rod worked great.
