Amalgamiters

Keith, Thanks a million, and yes, I don't see why we could not do some trading... Will this be on DVD? If so, I can include it (if it works out right) in the UFO kits, and amalgamite, when I get an order... Great Idea! We might even put it up on YouTube (on this end), and give you credits for it...

It will come out without the mess. May I ask what the video's are for? Thanks a million, Bill Goldco-Mining.com (More)

Hey again, I have a few more issues. I ran propane in the UFO with 20 grams of 14K solid gold clippings and 25 grams of amalgamite. I get the cupel hot before adding the gold then right after I add the amalgamite on top. It creates a nice silver mirror blob in the cupel. I've run it for 40, 50 minutes and even over an hour but I can never get a perfect gold bead. I get a hard greyish chunk but if I sand it a little it looks golden. The chunks are always glued to the cupel. I have to... (More)

The pot will get hot enough, but you will need to pull out the stopper 2 screw bolts, and plug the spout... That should be able to be done with a welder, with just a spot weld... The only reason you will need to pull out the stopper, is I don't think you will have enough room to work... You can try first however... Bill (More)
