I get the Black Gooo with Marvelux. I use a lee lead dipper to capture and move all the Gooo to one location on the top of the Lead; capture it with the Lee Lead Dipper, and doo a 180 degree turn of the dipper and submerge the black Goo into the lead. IT WILL BUBBLE AND MAKE NOISE. . I scrape the bottom and side of the pot, capture all of it again with the remaining Goo and Repeat multiple times. This will result in an accumulation of dross - with liquid silver metal inside the dross. I then herd all that trash on top to the side; use the bottom of the Lee Lead Dipper to compress the dross pile and force any liquid silver drops out. Do this several times and what is left looks like brown dust and light brown balls. This all gets skimmed off and thrown into a scrap pile for either trash or into next pot melting wheel weights or scrap lead. I store the post and ensure any top color is mixed in and no more dross comes up.
NOTE: The Black Goo at times will form a black crusty ball sticking to the inside of the Lee Lead Dipper Cup. To get rid of this one has to scrape it out with an old screw driver or similar.
