Hey everyone, Paul here. this was one of my early experiments with melting aluminum cans.
These days, I don’t recommend using cans as a metal source. they’re the wrong alloy for casting and can cause porosity issues, plus it doens't flow as well as a proper aluminum alloy like A356.
But this experiment still shows how flux helps separate aluminum from dross.
If you’re serious about casting clean metal, check out my newer videos on choosing alloys and my Maker’s Sand Casting Starter Guide: paulsmakeracademy.mykajabi.com/signup-d507c6e0-88a1-4f79-b4d3-575b55544fce

Today i show you how to get the most metal out of melting aluminum cans at home. I use the improved mini metal foundry i made in another video, and turn my recycling into pure ingots. Also there are some tips to improve the metal easily for better results.
This process was gathered from tips from many helpful sources, thank you to everyone that offered input.
