| For safety purposes, the Casting Shop requires that shop users work
| |
| in pairs when pouring molten metal.
| |
|
| |
| '''Electro-melt furnaces''' are used for melting metal. The Casting Shop owns a 1kg Kerr Electro-melt Furnace and a 3kg Rio Electro-Melt Furnace.
| |
|
| |
| '''Always wear Eye Protection, a Leather Apron, and Gloves when using the Electro-melts, and turn the shop ventilation on.'''
