I think I want to convert an entire barrel to a smelting station, that way I can stand and pour. Probably open up the top so that I can set my burner top into the hole and run a propane line into it. The edges will double as a surface area for molds as well.

I was considering aramid fiber though I have no experience either way.

I have a Riteheat pot with a heated spout and I’m not having success using the ball valve threaded onto heated spout on bottom of pot. I need a steady flow for pouring baits and the ball valve I bought doesn’t maintain the heat and clogs. Does anyone know of a specialty ball valve that will work? It’s 3/4”

Calhouns! I stack tubes in plastic boxes and some are still around from years ago, bone dry! Calhouns will never leech a hint of oil, ever!

Well heating six 8 cup Pyrex in the microwave sucks. The only way I’ve lessened the suck is to have 3 microwave at once- 2 - 8 cups per. It’s still a pain. I’m pretty sure I need an industry grade agitator tank or else I’m playing with microwaves all day

I thought of the hot burner. Have you done this before? Let’s say 3 gallons on hot burner. Basically I’m sure that would require a constant stir or it’s burnt but I’m not sure what the timeframe on 3 gallons to temp would be.

Any hacks/recommendations on ways to quickly heat up larger volumes of plastic besides the microwave? Larger volumes being 1 gallon +

That’s funny! 10 seconds before I saw this thread I was thinking about how TU is the worst for ads!!

Dutch oven iron pot I believe is what it is. I could use 1/2 the barrel but the stand up height of the full barrel is pretty attractive

I’m thinking about cutting open the top of 55 barrel and welding in parts of bayou classic and running the fuel line and burner in from a hole in side of barrel. Anyone have such experience?

Harder lead crumbles or breaks. Soft bends

How many?

You would hope after 4 months of going back and fourth on 1/2 measured attempts to solve the problem that might be the case. It was not! It was clear and deliberate avoidance in dealing with it correctly in hopes that I would go away, which I did on simple principle that I don’t want to do regular business with someone who operates like that and don’t have the patience to deal with someone who sends insults as solutions to the problems they’ve caused me. After everything we talked about on the phone and she told me, it’s clear that they’re running an oaky operation without procedures, QC/QA or good manufacturing practices. I’m way more happy with Calhoun plastics.

Most companies I would hope would cooperate better. It was deliberate stalling and several attempts at anything except just solving the problem. I gave up. She won! I’m sure that’s what she was pushing for because after she royally fukt the last attempt and didn’t follow up I knew she didn’t care about my problems. I don’t want to do business with someone who handles customers like that. She never followed up anytime again to see why I hadn’t returned for business, knowing that there wasn’t a solution.

I don’t understand what you’re asking
