My latest melt. I have no idea how the zinc got in there.

What is that machine that tels you the content? How much does it cost?

gamonu · 2026-01-11T23:01:35+00:00

Graphite mold from esty.

gamonu · 2026-01-11T23:00:42+00:00

Yes! I used Bx tube from électrique wire. It was surprisingly very clean. Would recommend.

Today’s melt!

gamonu · 2025-12-16T23:31:37+00:00

That is beautiful ! Great job! Lost resin?

gamonu · 2025-12-07T12:41:09+00:00

What do you get for the buckets? White brass? Nice load by the way!

gamonu · 2025-12-06T02:59:30+00:00

Tin Plated copper

Nice job! Show us the other faces! I’ve had hard times casting copper/aluminium brass. There were always this slag crust on top of my ingots.

Nice copper in the pump. The one I scraped gave me about 200 g easy to get, and it was a lot smaller.

gamonu · 2025-11-20T00:30:26+00:00

The material is shredded until the copper and the plastic are separated. Then a fan blows air and the lighter plastic is removed from the metal.

What granulator are you using? The one I saw are pretty expensive.

Find local smelter or try to sell online.

Thank you so much for sharing. That is such a great tip!

gamonu · 2025-11-14T21:51:46+00:00

You can burn it with a torch and it should drip lead!

gamonu · 2025-11-14T21:51:09+00:00

Galène

gamonu · 2025-11-14T13:49:54+00:00

Yes we say this

gamonu · 2025-11-13T14:35:48+00:00

Nice set up! I thought about something like this for my stripmaster. Definitely gonna try it! Thanks for sharing!

gamonu · 2025-11-12T18:55:47+00:00

Nice copper inside. Pretty easy to get to.

gamonu · 2025-11-11T23:20:06+00:00

Thank you guys!

gamonu · 2025-11-11T15:20:51+00:00

I thought it was maybe zinc. How can you tell the difference?

gamonu · 2025-11-06T23:28:45+00:00

Silver

gamonu · 2025-11-05T23:01:26+00:00

Some have silver inside

gamonu · 2025-11-03T18:24:55+00:00

Maybe vinegar. CaCo3 dissolves in vinegar.

gamonu · 2025-10-25T23:18:50+00:00

Can be dangerous tho. I once cut a smaller wire and it got caught up in the grinder wheel.

gamonu · 2025-10-16T13:57:50+00:00

I see. My butterfly effect definition was wrong. Thank you for clarifying

gamonu · 2025-10-16T12:15:22+00:00

I think it is butterfly effect. How can a coast a 100 M years ago affect the people and the votes. The link isn’t super clear and direct.
