Where Shannel saw the info was an UMBA tape of a guild of metal meeting.
The demonstrator was pouring silver. Were he learned it was in the SW USA
and they were pouring silver belt buckles. This would be a smaller amount
of metal but liquid silver has a lot of heat.

and motor oil? Are you sure about this? I would be concerned that the
non-refractory cement, which is a carbonate, would release CO2 gas when hit
with hot metal.
