Melting Aluminum Scrap - 10 Lbs. of Cat Food Can Lids- Trash To Treasure

Melting Aluminum Scrap

[@dukenukem001]

wow thats alot of slag ... good melt including the shop lion

[@HeinrichsMade]

Thanks! Yeah it was a ton of slag. I doubt I will ever do cat food can lids ever again.

[@ScorpionMetals]

Some one has a bunch of cats! That's a stack! Great video buddy! Good to see someone come up with something different to melt! Keep rocking it!

[@HeinrichsMade]

haha, no I only have 1. These were actually given to me to melt.

[@fikustoast5118]

That’s a boat load of cat food consumption! 😺😸 nice bars!

[@HeinrichsMade]

haha, yeah they were actually given to me. My cat only gets dry food. Thanks!

[@godisgreat8462]

Cool

[@HeinrichsMade]

👍👍👍

[@brianb.2398]

Oooh! Oooh! Now remelt those ingots into a lost foam pattern of a cat! You could inscribe it 'Heinrichs Made (or your HM logo) a cat from cat food lids.'!

[@HeinrichsMade]

a lost foam pattern of a cat 🤣 my hand carving skills need a lot of work before I can do that. That is a really good idea though 🔥🔥

[@willstreasures7986]

Damn! That was a lot of slag. Few nice bars though

[@HeinrichsMade]

WAY TOO MUCH SLAG! Not doing cat food can lids again... Thanks for watching!

[@send2georgie_S2G]

Dang I didn’t realise you can melt those lids LOL 😂 silly me…

[@HeinrichsMade]

haha, yeah buddy! If it's aluminum, I can melt it. These things suck to melt... Way to much slag. NEVER AGAIN!

[@savagesollero32]

Ese gato come mucho😂🔥👌. Buenos lingotes

[@HeinrichsMade]

👍👍👍🔥🔥

[@makingcookingfixing]

I commented on the next video before lol (ads playing) anyways , great pour. The dross, will you try to remedy this to get aluminum out? Or it’s hopeless?

[@HeinrichsMade]

HAHA! It's not hopeless, but not worth it. You wouldn't get much anyway.

[@andrewlovesu1]

Hi. Do you add salt or anything to your dross before removing it?

[@HeinrichsMade]

No I do not

[@ChatterontheWire]

yeah.... like normal cans, not worth it unless you really need to get outside and kill some time! ;)

[@HeinrichsMade]

definitely not worth it. Someone gave them to me and wanted me to melt them 🤣
