  • Awesome video. I have been wanting to do this for some time. I hope to melt down some of my fine gold.  Thanks.

  • @YankeeGoldProspect Do you sell any of your fine gold? I would love to buy a gram or a couple of fines. I love panning that hard to get fine gold. Its winter up here. So not much for outdoor panning. Where do you find it ;) Kidding...  Anyway. These motor brushes are great for making molds. And cheap to get. You could set up a little refining station at home for little cost. If you carve a little cup out of these brushes, it works great on gold. Especially fines.

  • looks a lot bigger than a 1 gram mold. maybe meant to say 1 ounce? It looks like its at least a full ounce ingot mold.

  • in all seriousness, if that mold is what you consider a "1 gram gold ingot mold", i will gladly buy all of your "1 gram" gold pieces for well over market value, im sure you meant to say ounce.

    --Good video. Just getting into metal casting, and this was informative and helpful.

  • @lowrider144 Yes I did.

  • @lowrider144 I did mean to say one oz, there should be a text caption that pops up when I say that. But I guess people are not noticing it.

see all

  • great video, thanks for the tips!

  • @IdigHistoryVideo hey just a question for ya,do yo think refractory cement with a smooth enough finish would do the trick for both a melting dish and a mold?i smith as a hobby and have built my own forge and lined it with homemade kitty litter refractory clay,and it stands up to about 1500+* on a daily basis.you think a sheet metal dish with a good layer of this stuff spread all over it nice and smooth would stand up to melting some silver scrap?

  • I'm having to learn on my own BC I don't have the money for school, I wanna know if u can help me out plz If u can, I wanna make a mold from an old button that my Mom has had for many years, but I don't want to damage the button, do u know if there's a mold kit that I could buy then melt sterling silver and pour into the mold? Thanks

  • @MrMaypole14 Yes. Its much better for silver and gold. And in all my experience does not stick like it would to a silica mold, or a plaster mold you have to break. In truth, it really comes down to personal preference. The idea behind this video. Is that you can make your own molds for a cost far less than those commercially offered. And they work extremely well. And are very easy to make into different types of molds.
