Works great but not enough

Works great but not enough. The hopper works well. I could wish for finer sand, but I have no complaints. Great starter kit.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Not good. The Crucible is terrible!

Sand, powder and borax are excellent. Unfortunately, the bottle doesn't stay closed when you stand it up. There are no pins included to help with this. The Crucible is so cheap (and dangerous!) that you don't have to turn it on. You will also receive a small package with your order which I believe is bronze although not listed.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

Keith is fine. The pliers are dangerous.

Pliers are dangerous. They rotate the crucible and don't hold it properly. If it was filled with hot metal, it would splatter everywhere. I ended up throwing them away and just using some old locks to fill the jar. In addition, the metal included in the kit did not melt. After 20 minutes with a Mapp gas torch, the metal was just hot. It must have been left over after they made Captain America's shield or something! Throw it away too. Use some lead-free tin for the first try.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
