Ceramic Questions

Submitted by zvds31 on Sat, 07/26/2008 - 6:03pm. ::

Hello Friends,

I have a couple of questions. I would like to melt metal with a torch into a ceramic mold to make a brooch. Will cone 6 ceramic keep 2000 degree heat here. What can I add to my cone 6 ceramic here? Do you bake the ceramic before using the torch with?

Thank you,

Dan
