Food for thought... wet aluminmum into molten aluminum can cause an explosion. Do not push cans through the top hole... it will exellerate destruction of kayowool. Shred the cans before hand for better reclaim %. Overall good video. But be careful, cause you already walking that line hard.

I'm in the process of making a shredder. I am aware of the moisture and yes that can be very dangerous, thank you. Also thank you for the input.

Great video cheers, looking at getting one soon - did the liquid hardener come with it or you bought it separately?
@thetoolguy828 ай бұрын
I had to buy the rigidizer separately. Check out my links for your choice.

Yes, you brush the refractory cement on after the rigidizer dries.

Did you apply any refractory cement? Or did the volcano replace it?
@thetoolguy826 ай бұрын
I did not put any refractory cement but I wish I had. When this needs replaced I will use refractory cement next time.

Since Silver and Brass have a similar melting point it should be able to melt Silver.

I would imagine, not sure the BTU output of butane vs. propane. Where can you buy butane in large quantities?

Maybe pottery glaze or sand would help with that firebrick if the cardboard doesn't work out for you .

Would pottery glaze hold up to them high temps?
@Airon798 ай бұрын
@thetoolguy82 Not sure . All I know is that a kiln is required to harden the glaze , there aren't any videos on doing it , though . If you did decide to do it , I think you'd be the first .
@KazuhiroAridian6 ай бұрын
Pottery glazes work by melting at different temps to turn to glass, the hardening happens when you cool the molten glass. Don't think this is what you'd be after here. @@Airon79

@howardosborne8647 Oh , Thanks for responding and what exactly is glaze ? Is it a form of glass and what temperatures can it handle ?
