i'd say do both. once your seasalt has liquified after 2-3 months at 215f-250f, its ready for either wet or dry methods. sealing the graphite crucible is the hard part. some people prefer to drip molten copper all over the lid to seal it up for the dryway. thatworks well. the wet way can be tricky. if you dissole a little bit of gold in alot of first matter, heat it then let it cool down, the first matter turns into more gold. kind of a waste of it though.
