It's common lab practice to use broken crucibles (ceramics). :text-+1: on what Stig said.

Smash up that ugly coffee mug you don't use and whack in a few pieces. Good as gold.

Thanks for the reply Stig. Baking beads it will be for now. Do I still need to get copper saddles from Bunnings? Regards Carol

Thanks Sideboob. I have just been using a scant measuring teaspoon of oil. I will leave the oil out next time and see how it goes. Regards Carol.
