Oxidation after casting

I melt my silver using a furnace, I wait for the silver to become liquid before taking out my flask and then pouring. But every piece is heavily oxidised how do I prevent this? Or am I doing something wrong, my furnace is set to 960 degrees and the kiln comes out at 620 degrees

Resin casting with SRS Classic Investment

Can anyone recommend me a burnout cycle for this investment, I know it’s not supposed to be used with resin but I brought it before I done any research, I have casted a silver ring but some of the detail has collapsed/deformed, I’ve been using the standard burn out schedule.
I’m using kaya cast vacuum to get the bubbles out the investment before pouring in flask and after
