I have melted old quarters. They make really nice colors too. But I use silver shot since California.

then what are you running your cock holster on about "i got sterling, it is pure, it came from a jewler who told me".
saving face?

and 14k gold is 74% pure at best, really you want 22k minimum.
It's not a cock holster bro. Maybe yours but I never had cock in mine. Because I ain't gay!

Yeah 14k worked and it sold. 24k is next though.

me neither, but is there a problem if i/you were? homophobic a bit?
lay off the sauce, you will open your mouth and fall right in. maybe those sterling and 14k fumes are getting to your head.

Women hate it.

women hate the metals you use to fume?
Man, there's a lot to hate about the world going politically correct, but you've gotta admit it unlocks new options. Now you can rip on someone for being gay, then rip on them for objecting to being called gay. It's become a boomerang insult
edit: not hating on the "people are people, who gives a crap?" nature of PC. There's invariably a legit reason to call someone a dick, so there's no reason to hate on someone for what they are instead of who they are. It's the watching your words or fits will be thrown thing. Damnit, there's the PC thing in action
i'm just fucking with the dude, pretty much only because he leaves himself wide open for it by saying something really dumb. it's entertaining.
Oh I know, I didn't think it was a legit hate session or genuine discussion of who's genitals go where
this shit is rotting my brain, have a nice day guys
Yeah this is a critique thread.
I'm happy for the gold feedback.

Probably copper was added.

For what its worth, Pure is ideal just for understanding how/when to strike. There is an argument on 95% or better with select additives
on some alloys helping bond but that's only a tiny % of overall effect and not worth paying more for. When in doubt, strike again
I know a person that used to fume with silver that probably was not up to par. I say this because the fume would come off. Sometimes on your lip. This person does not use this forum. Just saying istandalone24/7 is right on about the silver content.
if you want some real honest feedback, that 14k looks rough man, get some panned gold nugs or pure, just because you got it to stick does not make it a success. your straight silver fume looks way better, just my opinion, and I cant fume well
I am curious how your oxy machines are holding up and how many hours are on them.... have you checked the purity on them recently?
I'd avoid the panned gold, personally. Arsenic and gold tend to be in the same spot, let the middle men take care of cleaning that crap out. I know we all try for solid ventilation, but why push our luck?
Oxygen generators work great. I have had them for a year and a half.

I got some reds out of the gold and some blue out of silver. Then I got purple out of the mix.
The silver is different.

Yes I have seen gold come off before. The glass was not hot enough and it wasn't heated in well.

Make sure you get yours from a reliable source as there are fake gold ones on the market because they are popular.
Sheet metal snips are what im using nebula, or unless i find something better. I cut long straight chunks off then i use wire cutters once they're in strips.
I have journeyman pliers and a telephone line cutter that work great.

I cut up the silver shot. It cuts up gold well also.

I was reading that sterling silver is the purist silver used in jewelry because it's durability. As well as 18 k and 14 k gold. The metal is too soft to be used in pure form.
That was my mistake.

I have heard you can fume copper also but I have never done it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't know how accurate this is, but when I first got into glass 17 years ago, it was commonly said that the fume from copper could collapse your lung if you inhaled some.
I just heard that bob snodgrass could fume green with it.
I have seen on Facebook someone was selling a pipe fumed with bobs gold tooth.
But nothing in person.

His tooth, lol!

New spin stations

I'm going to get some plastic calipers soon to measure finished spin stations.

More spin stations I sell the more crap like this I will buy.
