Cheap Chinese furnace and mold.

Nice one.
I've got 20kgs or so of wire stripped down and ready to melt That I haven't got around to it yet.
This reminds me I need to get onto that.

When I made my bars, I polished them then sprayed them with a clear coat. It stopped them tarnishing and also prevented that copper smell on your hands when you handled it.
