Curious what you all use to stir your bottom melt pot. I use a old butter knife that I flattened the end on so I could scrape the bottom..I believe it's stainless steel, chrome plated whatever. Could this be causing me any issues in my melt. I can't seem to get my PB as clean as I'd like it..Always some black fine stuff coming to the top. When I smelted I thought I did a good job cleaning it. I also use paraffin or beeswax to flux my bottom pout and let a layer of melted wax stay on the top.
Thanks
