A "Card" of Thanks
« on: May 10, 2010, 10:31:59 AM »
I don't remember who said it first or even when I started following the advice but who ever, you've made my life a whole lot easier!!   

1. Using a hardwood dowel to stir the pot, when the alloy is hot enough, the wood will char-pure carbon! Much less smoke and what smoke there is isn't all the unplesant either, I enjoy wood smoke!  I don't remove the ash till I refill the pot either, that nice layer of ash across the top almost completly stops the oxidation and ends the need for constant fluxing and stiring.

2. A small piece of "ChoreBoy" copper scrubbing pad wrapped around an old bore brush makes short work of removing any lead that may be in a bore.

So Whoever you are or even if you think it could have been you... Thank You.

It wasn't me, but I also would like to extend my thanks to that poster, just one more thing that I learned here that I would never have stumbled on on my own, that's what's so great about this forum, people post what may seem to them as being something trivial, but it opens up so many new possibilities that it's almost mindboggling. ya gotta love this place and all the posters.............steg

Wasn't me either. But, thanks for passing that info on! (I've been using paint stirers for my wood stiring tool)
