ive got 2 large zink annodes i am trying to melt down into ingot size.
ive cut them in 3rds, and piled all the "saw dust" in my pot.
i use a large steel pot, with a crawfish cooker as a heat source.
i have melted antimony with this rig before.
but i cant get this zink to melt, even the shavings dont melt.
the temp in my thermometer is maxing out the dial at 1k degrees.
i even put a hunk direct on the flame, it got softish after 40mins, but not too much.
any ideas to get these melted down?
