Any suggestions how to get the tooth off the gold?
For silver, I have lots of fine silver wire. Can I use that for fuming?
Thanks!

If its gold amalgam which is common in older fillings and crowns it has mercury in it. That would not be good to fume with. Vaporized its highly toxic. A one gram gold bar from a pawnshop will cost about $50 and last a very long time. Is it worth the risk?
