Do you flux a pot of CWW before or after you skim out the clips, dross, etc? I smelted my first batch of clip on wheel weights a few days ago and wasn’t real happy with the results so I have been doing some more research into when and how to flux the pot. There seem to be two basic schools of thought. One says skim then flux to make sure you remove any harmful material. The other says flux first then skim in order to preserve useful metals.
