Join Chuck Gentles in this video as he demonstrates the process of melting aluminum bars for remelting. Watch as he pours the molten metal and creates new aluminum bars. #CandSMINING creates highquality remelts for various industrial applications.
I take years of aluminum bar pours and try to make them into something a little more pleasing to the eye. Most everything went well.
