The borax acts as a flux to the impurities and causes them to wash from the gold and collect together some come to the top and are taken away some go to the bottom and are welded to the mold when poured, you are both right . of coarse everyone is an expert on youtube it seems. what I would like to know is do you guys do a reduction to further separate the gold or do you just melt the 14k and 10 k into different bars
I found great graphite casting tools at GraphiteSupplies. com Graphite Ingot Molds, Stir Rods, Crucible Tongs and Graphite Crucibles. Check them out! I found out they even engrave ingot molds at really fair prices.
@gxcope You should be able to buy borax at your local grocery store. I know my grandparents used it to kill ants. Mix it with sugar and they carry the sugar and borax back to the nest and ... eat both and die. Borax is kinda a poison. But i think the brand everyone claims to use for blacksmithing is 20 Mule Team Borax. Look it up online.
It seems like allot of gold is wasted in melting created and drilling of this bar?

@tonymengela It depends. I doubt they have their own refinery on site. They will send it out to be refined.
I worked at the largest gold refinery in North America for many years.

That's Borax, pulls down impurities such as stones and other junk to the bottom, gold stays on top.

Backwards...
Gold goes to the bottom, slag ( Flux + Impurities ) floats to the top.
The same occurs in iron reduction, too.
The target metals are MUCH denser than the slag.
Gold slag is always tested to make sure no gold is left in it, BTW.
