I'm routinely asked if I degass my metal when I melt it. The answer is no. I don't have a proper degassing setup and I don't believe adding table salt or soap is of any value. I do believe that good pouring techniques will go much further in reducing porosity in a pour. Here's a test to show what I mean.
