3.4kg ProCast Foundry Clay Graphite Crucible with Pour Spout Cup by PMC Supplies LLC

Brad H.: I got this to melt copper and to replace a cheap one that actually melted. I guess you get what you pay for. Just temper first and you should have no issues with it. I've had my furnace up to 2300F and it handled it. Only complaint is mine didn't have the pour notch that's pictured, but a file will take care of that.

Definitely recommend as I'll be getting more of these.

Ben D.Ben D.: This is the second of these crucibles (#3-4kg size) I have purchased, I'm very happy with both of them. The first was purchased about two years ago and is still in fine shape; the outside has vitrified significantly but the interior is still clean. As for the second one it has vitrified on the outside much more than the first but has retained its integrity. Some porosity is visible on the exterior but no damage is on the inside. As with the first one, the inside has stayed fairly clean and smooth. Casting brass definitely dirties the insides of these but they're pretty easy to clean up with a wire brush.

To facilitate pouring (and also since the one I bought didn't really have one) I recommend using a round file to enlarge the pouring "spout" and also to round the inside edges of both the spout and the rim, this will help prevent fractures from expansion and contraction.

Both crucibles I purchased have been used for casting brass, copper, and bronze, so were subject to heats of about 2000F. I also did some bronze smelting in these and they have held up wonderfully. This past summer I put the crucible through a rather intense few days of several melts of bronze for a...

The Tech GuyThe Tech Guy: Hello everybody. Today I am giving my review o the PMC #3 crucible. I am going to target this review to a specific set of people who may find this useful, those with Grant Thompson's mini metal foundry. First of all I have had the foundry for going on 2 years and it is a champion. As first I began with charcoal but I recently upgraded to propane which I would suggest very much. A big point I want to bring up is that if you are using charcoal in TKOR's foundry this will most likely not work. My hole is a bit bigger than the video and it is a bit snug with propane. But if you have propane I would highly recomend going for the buy. If you have it I need to warn you of one thing, cracking. If you simply fire up the foundry and throw it in there it may crack. So the proper method to temper it is to put it in the oven for an hour to maybe 2 hours max. After this put it in the foundry and get it red hot then let it cool naturally in the foundry. After this it is ready for some fire. This crucible can take temperatures that go well above anything a charcoal or propane foundry can make. So have fun and be careful.

Also some tips for the foundry with sand and plaster. Use steel wool...
