Don't Buy the Vevor Propane Melting Furnace Until You Watch This Unboxing!

[@silversleuth007]

Terrific video and comments. Father and Son sharing a chore and activities is precious. TYVM for sharing and the lessons.

[@thetoolguy82]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@Eisenmann86]

Interesting video thank you it is a good idea to use rigidizer to avoid breathing of fibers.👍👍👍 i also use it

[@printingwithlue4310]

Food for thought... wet aluminmum into molten aluminum can cause an explosion. Do not push cans through the top hole... it will exellerate destruction of kayowool. Shred the cans before hand for better reclaim %. Overall good video. But be careful, cause you already walking that line hard.

[@thetoolguy82]

I'm in the process of making a shredder. I am aware of the moisture and yes that can be very dangerous, thank you. Also thank you for the input.

[@katough]

the alternate to cardboard on your firebrick, is to just give the crucible a little twist before you lift. my brick has never moved using this technique

[@AGE-fz9xz]

Is refractory cement brushed on after the mr volcano rigidizer has dried? Awesome video. Thanks

[@thetoolguy82]

Yes, you brush the refractory cement on after the rigidizer dries.

[@AGE-fz9xz]

@@thetoolguy82 thank you

[@robk1310]

Very nice info. You did it correctly.

[@julianjohnson307]

Excellent video! I have bought the same model here in the uk,and am doing my 1st melt tmrw. I have some copper ,and also some aluminium to experiment with. Should be fun I'm wondering how long 13kg of propane will last? Any ideas..

[@thetoolguy82]

13 kg converts to 28 lb. We have 20 lb tanks and I can get several melts out of one tank. The biggest problem is freezing if you run it for a long time.

[@Airon79]

Maybe pottery glaze or sand would help with that firebrick if the cardboard doesn't work out for you .

[@thetoolguy82]

Would pottery glaze hold up to them high temps?

[@Airon79]

@thetoolguy82 Not sure . All I know is that a kiln is required to harden the glaze , there aren't any videos on doing it , though . If you did decide to do it , I think you'd be the first .

[@KazuhiroAridian]

Pottery glazes work by melting at different temps to turn to glass, the hardening happens when you cool the molten glass. Don't think this is what you'd be after here. @@Airon79

[@howardosborne8647]

​@@Airon79kilning pottery is done to melt the glaze,not harden it. The glaze hardens as it cools and transforms from molten to solid

[@Airon79]

@howardosborne8647 Oh , Thanks for responding and what exactly is glaze ? Is it a form of glass and what temperatures can it handle ?

[@adrianmorning.1555]

Great video cheers, looking at getting one soon - did the liquid hardener come with it or you bought it separately?

[@thetoolguy82]

I had to buy the rigidizer separately. Check out my links for your choice.

[@bradleyozbun1012]

What is the size of the smelter & crushable ??? 💯 on the set up and melting pour !! Please & thank you !

[@thetoolguy82]

There is a link in the description. Thanks for watching.

[@daniel1981de]

I got the $100model about five months ago. Slightly different model. But I give it 8 of the 10 stars

[@thetoolguy82]

Good to hear.

[@thetoolguy82]

Since Silver and Brass have a similar melting point it should be able to melt Silver.

[@AuroraElectricLLC]

Did you apply any refractory cement? Or did the volcano replace it?

[@thetoolguy82]

I did not put any refractory cement but I wish I had. When this needs replaced I will use refractory cement next time.

[@TheOregonDude]

Wish you would have put the refractory cement on. Great video good to see your boy out working with you instead of the norm of kids these days inside watching video games TV tube

[@dioufmouna3539]

Does it working with butane

[@thetoolguy82]

I would imagine, not sure the BTU output of butane vs. propane. Where can you buy butane in large quantities?

[@dioufmouna3539]

@@thetoolguy82 I live in Senegal west Africa Lot of butane her

[@jonfinds]

I got the 16kg from eBay for 170

[@skiprat8918]

Is it any good I've just ordered it lol

[@jonfinds]

@@skiprat8918 I like it, I've ran it like 6 times, it does copper fairly quickly, the tongs and gloves are garbage though, best to invest in a good set

[@thetoolguy82]

I agree the gloves and tongs are not worth keeping. Thanks for watching.
