why do you need to turn your source aluminium, to ingots first before casting?
And where do i find washing soda?
thanks joel

You don't need a flux when melting aluminium. Use a twist of aluminium foil with LoSalt in it to degas and a twist of aluminum foil with washing soda in it to increase fluidity. Stir in both, one at a time, just before pouring, skim then pour.
Turn your source aluminium, to ingots first before casting.

Somewhere I heard/read about using borax, but then I just saw on the backyard metal casting site somebody's recommendation to NOT use it because it's reactive with aluminum. Can somebody with a better knowledge of metallurgy/chemistry comment on this?

I work at a Galvanizing plant, we use ammonium cloride as a flux. Can I use this for my aluminum casting?
Thanks,
