Having two sets lets you keep one crucible for each metal and avoid contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whip tong is made from stainless steel wire with a reverse action, so it springs closed and holds the crucible securely; squeeze to release. This gives you good control when tipping and pouring molten metal. The round ceramic dish holds up to 100 g and has a pouring spout for a clean pour into an ingot mould or casting flask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucible capacity: approx. 100 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucible outside diameter with lip: 2-3\/8\" (60 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhip tong length: 9-3\/4\" (approx. 248 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTong material: stainless steel wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucible: round ceramic dish with pouring spout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 2A ceramic crucible dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x whip tong handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelting scrap gold and silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePouring ingots and casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJewellery workshops, hobby metalworkers and students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore first use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreheat the crucible gently before melting.
