Scrap Aluminum for Melting

Here are forms of aluminum you can find around the house:

Pop Cans
The two problems with melting down pop cans: 
  • They produce a lot of slag, which will need to be skimmed off
  • You need a lot of cans to fill the crucible
Scrap aluminum
 The great thing about scrap aluminum is that you can find use for it.
