Hand-held casting crucibles are used for casting in cuttlebone, sand casting, straw casting, and water casting. Before using a new crucible it must be prepared by coating the bowl and spout with borax. Over time, a used crucible becomes coated with too much borax and the borax can cause problems while casting. If the collection of borax becomes too thick in the crucible, it can cause a clog at the spout, or even pour into your mold blocking the metal from entering. This course shows the process of preparing and cleaning the crucible.
