Im trying to make pure sodium. I put salt on a dish and start6ed to heat it up with a torch. Most of the Salt melts but heres the problem. The instant i take the torch away to stick the ires on it the salt turns instanty into a solid. So how are you supposed to put ele ctricicy through it if it instantly turns into a solid when you take the heat off for even a second?

i have no idea about what you are doing, or anything to do with it, but would it be at all possible to pass electricity through it whilst you are still applying heat to it?
I have no idea if it will work or if it is possible, I just wanna try and help.
