How to Season a Crucible | Jewelry Making Tips

🔥Why Your Crucible Needs Seasoning (and How to Do It Right!) 🔥

If you’ve ever wondered why your molten metal sticks to the crucible, slows down your pour, and leaves you with less-than-perfect sand castings… this quick tutorial will save you from that drama!

I’ll walk you through exactly how to season your crucible with plain ol’ borax powder (yep - the kind you can find in the laundry aisle at most supermarkets). This little step makes sure your molten metal flows freely - which is crucial if you don’t want it solidifying halfway into your mold.

Whether you’re melting for sand casting or pouring into an ingot mold to roll your own stock, this is a simple metalsmithing skill that will make a huge difference to your results.
