<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 9843105, member: 6444"]So you’re getting enough heat to melt brass from a simple propane torch? Surprising to me but my experience with hot metal work is limited to a bit of blacksmithing in coal forges with carefully controlled heat. I’ve read brass is so much harder than aluminum to cast due to brass being a complicated alloy of several metals with different melting points. When are you using flux, multiple pours? Stay safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
