Alloy making for dummies

3. Getting hands on with alloy making

Things to watch out for or be mindful of:

Contamination of material It is important to keep your ingredients away from others to ensure there is no risk of contamination which can result in a wasted batch.

Bad ingredients

You wouldn't buy out of date ingredients or damaged goods for baking a cake would you? Using bad ingredients will result in a bad product.

Wrong ingredients If you use the wrong ingredients it can make the process very difficult.

For example, when alloy making, it is important to use the right forms of material, size and shape or it can affect how they mix together when melting.

Think about it, you wouldn't put a slab of chocolate on top of a trifle, you would grate and sprinkle it.
