Nice looking bridge. My old-skool Dad preps that stuff all the time.
ps, I never weigh any wax. Type IV gold has more copper and looks pretty, but it often turns into a crappy button when the alloy breaks down. I like both type IV and type III.
To rejuviinate a button, I just melt it in a crucible with a dash of white flux powder, let cool, then grind off the top and bottom skin. You'll see heavy crap sink to the bottom and lighter garbage float to the top, major discoloration and various grain sizes on the surface. Inside in the good stuff.
