These are the results of my first aluminum melt! 2 100oz bats. I'm excited to get into casting. I bought a used single burner furnace from a yard sale for 20 bucks along with 2 crucubles. One was filled with crap that didn't melt even when the crucible was nearly white hot. After it cooled there's some red crystals forming along the edges. I think that crucible is a lost cause for now. Luckily the bigger one was mostly clean and I was able to use it!
