Can I use it for melting silver or gold down with the product your seling?

No it doesn't get hot enough. Lead melts at 621° Fahrenheit , silver at 1763° Fahrenheit, gold at 1948° Fahrenheit. You need a furnace for gold and silver and a graphite or similar crucible. They are pretty easy to make yourself check some youtube videos on making electric casting furnace.

No, I doesn't get hot enough for Gold or Silver. It is intended for lead and that is what it works well with.

I don't know. It is for metals and I suspect you could contact the company and ask

Good question. After researching for over 2 hours, I'm going to try this product for soldering silver plated rings Silver Bearing Wire Soldering Paste Welding Jewelry, 7.1 Gram wish me luck. xox

Depends. For melting. it is probably limited to an oz or 2. For traditional silver brazing fabrication, the larger tips are well within the range of normal work on belt buckle size jobs. Even larger tips are available.

The melting point of gold is 1,948°F. The FX=901 high temp is 600 degrees F. Answer no this will not melt gold! It did OK with solder for a small job.

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.

This furnace does not get hot enough to melt gold and silver. It is designed for lead which melts at a much lower temperature.

Do not use on sliver ware, or it will turn to gold. And once it is on you can'take it off, it is pernanent.

Yes, you can use heat, on the lower settings.. It won't melt it ,or burn it in the least, as long as you are careful, and watch what you're doing. :)

Not sure. I have used it for electrical soldering and some jewelry soldering. have to be careful burns a little hot.

To the best of my knowledge it has to be used with distilled water only. You have to start out with zero particulates in your water when you begin to "brew" your batch of colloidal silver. Make sure you have a good ppm gauge/meter. I always check mine when I start and it always measures .000 ppm

Yes. I use it on sterling, white gold and platinum. I mostly use it on a watch that is silver with inlaid opal, since you cannot use most liquid or paste jewelry cleaner on opal or pearls.

No. Max temp of this furnace is around 900 degrees F. Gold melts at 1974 degrees F. Silver melt 1761 degrees F. And the bad news... if you have lead around 1974, it would be reaching a deadly boiling and vapor stage. The furnace is made for lead... not gold, not silver.

You can use this stuff on ANYTHING. Before you start your rather large project, I strongly recommend you practice first on a surface similar to your surround. The good news/bad news is that the stuff is pretty unforgiving. Once it's on, it is on. Also, remember to massage/mix it in the tube. If the product has sat for a while, often it will separate in the tub. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy "gilding."

As Emira said, it is a luster dust and can be mixed with vodka and painted on fondant to turn silver. I personally would use Wilton Silver Mist Spray.

No. The HOT POT states that it's purpose is to melt alloys such as lead and pewter, with low melting temps in the 600-900 degree range. Silver, on the other hand, does not melt until nearly 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit if I remember correctly, and gold is almost 2,000 degrees. This pot will not come close to reaching that temperature (you'd be unable to hold it, if it did). You will need a furnace, or a kiln.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.
