[QUOTE="Car 54, post: 317119, member: 85"] I do pre heat my crucibles slightly by using the torch to heat up the funnel area and some of the side walls while it's in the cradle, before I put my metal in the crucible. As with you, I thought the cleaning was a bit much. I usually just use a torch tip cleaner once in awhile to make sure the holes aren't getting clogged. I also agree that placing the ring in the cradle before the metal is ready seems like a faux pas on their part, especially with such a temperamental metal as PP. We could get by with that casing gold crowns, but I wouldn't do that with HN or Noble, let alone a base metal ring. [/QUOTE]
