is there a functional difference? i mean, salt is absorbd into and held by water, and then heat is used to reclaim the salt. why does it matter as far as cs is concerned? i got here too late for the start of this particular conversation. Dennis 51/50 24/7 -- The silver-list is a moderated foru

I believe that some of the alloy elements in stainless will dissolve in the silver, such as zinc, nickel and so forth. I would use pyrex or quartz, not stainless. Silver is extremely malleable. I would consider hammering it into the size and shape I want instead of casting it. Marshall Jeffrey

I have been experimenting with larger electrodes. I would like to melt several pieces of 999 silver into one large flat piece. I plan to melt them on a sheet of stainless, using an oxy acet torch. Can anyone tell me if this would cause contamination of the silver, such that it would not be optimum
