@@metalcastingguyormatt.1461 While you may be using the same amount of gas to get less pure salvageable metal. There is something to be said for reusing what you already have. It takes time and resources to constantly have fresh metal to melt every single time. If you're doing ok financially and you have the time, then why not re-melt slag? Aluminum may be a natural product but why waste something if you don't have to? It's not like there is a major propane shortage at the moment. Not only that, but the metal industry in general has a long history and historical precedent of reusing and recycling metal.

@@metalcastingguyormatt.1461 Actually this is much more economical and environmentally friendly then refining ore into pure aluminum. You have no idea the time and energy and chemicals that goes into doing that. Recycling will always be a better option. Sure if you have access to lots of cheap or free scrap it might be cheaper than gas. But if you don’t and have to buy your aluminum then it is definitely worth it. You can’t actually buy aluminum at scrap prices in most places. You end up paying 10 times that at least. I’d happily pay 15-25 dollars just for a pound of aluminum. That’s really good pricing compared to what I have available to me locally. And unless you are going to buy it by the ton from China really good pricing compared to what you can find online too. Also if you just add slag to a bunch of metal you are already melting then it wastes no gas at all. It takes no more gas to melt slag then it does normal aluminum. Because you aren’t actually melting the slag it stays solid you are just melting the aluminum stuck to the slag. Melting a small amount in a large foundry is wasteful but if you have enough it wastes nothing.

I would like a diamond shaped paperweight...lol 😅 Not like on a playing card. One that's in the actual shape of a gemstone. 💎 Maybe done in aluminum if that's the easiest metal to sand down. Just a bit smaller than the size of a balled up fist. I think you, BigstacksD and Veg oil guy should do it as a challenge. I believe all 3 of you have belt sanders so you guys should be able to sand all of the facets smooth and shiny along with the table on the top. If you look at an image of a diamond you'll see what's called the girdle which is a circular band around the widest part of a diamond. Again the image, from top to bottom would be the table, the crown(facets above the girdle)and the girdle itself next. Then below the girdle would be the pavillion which is longer facets that should come to a point or a tiny cut(called a culet)at the bottom where the facets come together but a culet isn't necessary. I know this would be quite a challenge for the 3 of you to try to make but I also think the final results would be interesting. Although I would love to have one I know it would require a decent amount of skill along with being a lot of work. If you guys come up with a successful example it would be something you all should be proud to display on your shelves. I've mentioned it on BigstacksD's channel and I think the Veg oil guy to or maybe even to you. This is the first time I've proposed it as a challenge for the 3 of you.

Have you seen NurdRage's video, Remove Coke Can from Coke? kzitem.info/news/bejne/uWemqGqFb3OKgIo It might be of interest to you when you are melting cans.

ArtByAdrock hi do you reckon if you have time you might be able to check out me and my mates channel its called RT melt, we are going to get a 3d printer soon and we have petrabond sand to cast with 3d printed models, but some of the things we have done I think you might like seeming we have only just started 13 or 14 weeks ago. Cheers if you do.

9:24 Better content. First of all, you seemed awful surprised that you got a lot of slag out of your MELTED SLAG. Second, why did I spend more time reading your video than watching it? Cameras have microphones so you can, ya know, record audio to go along with your video.

It sounds weird but I have been using regular table salt to aid in separating the slag from the aluminium. It takes the heavy slag like you appear to be getting and separates the aluminium so the slag is more powdery almost ash like and very light and crumbly once it cools. It doesn't take much table salt and it seems to work really well.

When do you add the salt? I.e. beginning, middle, or end. Do you add anything else like borax to the molten aluminum?
@JointerMark

I add the salt near the end. I've tried at different points in the melt and it seems that at the end us the most effective. I melt a lot of pop cans and I gave run the slag through a second time (first time without salt) with salt and I can recover enough aluminium that it seems worth while to add the salt.

I have not tried borax yet as I am also experimenting with other aluminium sources. I just acquired a whole bunch of extrusions from many several different sources so it will be interesting to see how the different alloys behave.
