GongYi 10 Ounces Mini Kiln Melting Furnace Kit Mapp Gas Torch Kiln Stainless Steel Material Gold Smelting Sliver Aluminum Recycle

The GongYi 10 Ounces Mini Kiln Melting Furnace Kit offers a compact solution for melting gold, silver, aluminum, and other metals. The kit includes a Mapp gas torch kiln made of stainless steel material. Customers have raised several questions regarding the product. One customer asked about the maximum temperature the forge can reach with a high-pressure propane tank. A certified LPG technician responded, stating that propane alone does not burn hot enough to melt steel or iron. Another customer inquired whether the kit can melt glass for glass blowing. The response was positive, mentioning that with the use of melting flux, glass can be melted. However, it was advised to have an extra crucible if melting both metal and glass due to the sticky mess that glass creates. There were also questions about attaching the unit to natural gas from a house, the number of uses for melting copper, and concerns about asbestos or ceramic fiber in the kit. The responses indicated that the melting furnace requires high-pressure gas and that gas heating is faster than electric heating for heavy copper. It was also cautioned that ceramic fiber, similar to asbestos, should be covered with refractory material to prevent fibers from becoming airborne. In terms of customer reviews, some buyers mentioned missing items in their purchases but were assured by the seller that the missing items would be shipped. One user mentioned the need for refractory cement to be added to the inside walls of the furnace for better heat retention and longevity. Another user complained about a broken piece and planned to return the entire product. Overall, the GongYi 10 Ounces Mini Kiln Melting Furnace Kit receives mixed reviews. While some customers had issues with missing or broken items, others found it to be a reasonably priced kit for beginners. It was praised for its effectiveness in melting metals, particularly bronze and aluminum. However, there were concerns about the need for additional materials to improve heat retention and prevent fiber release.
