SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the process of labeling crucibles using a ferric chloride solution to create unique identifiers. Participants confirm that applying a ferric chloride solution, followed by drying and firing the crucibles to cherry red heat, effectively marks them. This method ensures durability and visibility of the identifiers on the crucibles. The technique is straightforward and relies on commonly available materials.
