Melting Metals in the Microwave | The Ultimate Guide

This video needs a massive - Don't Try This at Home - disclaimer. 

That's in spite of the fact that the entire video is telling you how you can exactly do that - melt metal at home. 

The procedure is interesting...

• use insulating ceramic wool to shape an insulating chamber 
• wrap the insulating chamber in kapton tape
• polish the surfaces of the ceramic wool
• 'paint' the surfaces with kiln wash
• make a crucible from silicon carbide
• ???
• profit!

I've posted videos showing processes similar to this before, but today's video includes way more detail on the 'how-to' part of the process.
