Gents, I would like to apologize for any part I had in starting this. I decided to call Glen Fryxell and ask him in person. He told me that these things are as constant as boiling water and don't...

OK, I'm going to back off here. I meant no offence. Alls I was trying to do was hear a way to test this and actually see it, but you're saying that's impossible. Fine. I'll take that. I just don't...

See, that's not true at all! As a machinist, everything I do is double and triple checked by people with measuring equipment. If I told somebody to just "trust me, my parts are always right" they'd...

OK, I was obviously confused about the terms.
I'd still like to know how anybody knows for sure that there is anything more than carbon and oxidized metal in the dust we scrape off the top of the...

Oh and there is no reason for retorts. We're trying to have an enlightening discussion.
Whoop it on me. How do I prove this?

I believe I was mistaken about what "reduction" is. I think of flux as something that returns metal into the alloy, and I have observed, and tested that happening.
What I'm just not sure about is...

Rick, I'm not arguing. I was simply saying that this subject is argued about quite a bit, but the end result is what we are after. One person claims that the alloy is reduced and impurities are taken...

That was one test that was conducted in public here on the forum, and it was altogether inconclusive. All we were able to prove for sure is that my crazy claims about the true content of COWW alloy...

Question. How was it determined that a reducer actually works? I have tried to prove that it does, and all I have found is that if you find the right flux you can make peanut butter and jelly...

I honestly don't think there is any solid scientific proof either way. BNE and myself tried to prove this, as we have access to XRF testing equipment. We could not prove anything even with all that...
