Hardly a monoply, Couger. There are many people and companies selling fire lapping products. My issue is that I developed the process and have the only measuring products to insure absolute control of progress.
But you seem to have missed the point of my response to your post, which has nothing to do with what Brownmells sells, their knowledge or whatever. It is your ignorance in answering a question asked to me, when you know nothing about what you are saying except what you have read.
Please everyone understand my position. --- I have sold lap kits and instructions for some 15 years and give specific instructions for those who purchase my products. In that time my customers have lapped many thousands of barrels with excellent results, while I've read and heard many horror stories of those who have tried other makers lap supplies and methods.
I am happy to answer questions regarding what I offer and teach, and welcome any input by customers of my products or that of other makers, as long as they make it clear whether they are speaking of other products. However,I really know nothing of what others sell, and certainly am not even interested in the thousands of notions talked about on other forums. For this reason, I become somewhat irritated by anyone comparing what I offer to something else, or presenting other notions as if they were mine. If I get involved trying to answer questions or solving problems caused by other manufacturers products, or trying to solve problems or explain the difference between what I sell and others products, I'd do well to just throw in the towel with the lap kits I sell and never answer another question regarding the process.
But I won't throw in the towel. So expect to read me with my freathers ruffled occasonally. I'll not be accused of selling junk if anyone has troubles with "firelapping" using other products or information dished out by the inexperianced.
