    Default How to make a microwave kiln

    Found this, thought I'd share. The audio is terrible, but it's a nice thorough explanation of how to make one.

    Hi,

    This is pretty new to me.
    So I´d like to ask if it´s possible to melt boro in the microwave?
    Are there any threads here about this?
    Thanks,Axel

    Thanks for sharing. The sound was crappy...good advice about left/right.

    I have some rigidized fiber board, I've just been wondering what to use for the susceptor.

    That old silicon carbide in the garage will do just fine, I guess.

    Thanks!
