I think I'm I the right place

Hello, I'm planning on melting some gold down into a bar. This may be a dumb question, but can I mix 14k with 18k?

You most certainly can! The bar will grade somewhere between 14k and 18k and, if you ever went to sell it, you might only get price for 14k gold, which would devalue the 18k that went into it. Not saying this would happen - only that it's possible. A reputable buyer would pay you what it's worth.

...How are you wanting to melt the gold? Microwave? Oxy/acet torch? smelting furnace? Also, are you speaking of scrap jewelry? I have to ask that as you posted in the gold prospecting section. Melting raw gold will not remove impurities or separate any metals. You would simply be melting various masses into one, impurities and all.

I was planning on torching 18k gold scrap ( dental ) into 1oz bar. I bought torch, tongs, chemical and bar mold. I have other scrap but since you said it might get looked at as the lesser of the two I would mix the two. I just needed so solid advice. Never did it before, but pretty excited to do it.
