Hello,

My wife and I have been in the jewelry industry for several years, from manufacturing, personalizing, packaging, website, branding, and marketing of our own company and line of jewelry. The ups and downs of our retail business have led me to be resourceful and frugal, to say the least. I have saved 42lbs of green polish sweeps and paper filters. I have set up a lab with a fume hood and done some recovery/refining but the polish clogs up the filter. I have realized that smelting it out or assaying it first is the way to go. It has gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and I have removed most of the iron. I believe most polish is acidic but the green color of the polish is uncommon but shouldn't matter. I have been having trouble getting it hot enough. I have seen induction coils that slip around a graphite crucible but it was small, are these good for a larger? I don't know if I should just try it with a bigger rosebud tip. I have. I have. I have. I have but, I don't have certain knowledge of processes, tools or techniques to make this happen. I know that I am just a tool and a helpful tip away. The oatmeal gets thin around this time of year so I would greatly appreciate any help to figure this out. The metal will be used in the jewelry we make after purification. God bless and Thank you for your time- Dan Carey
