OK so after reading all 100+ pages I realized I am one of the few that came in late to this discussion and read everything, about a quarter of the thread is people asking old ?s because the did not feel like reading. Having said that a lot of good info. I have only one thing to add for those needing a large oven. I built one out of a four draw file box. laid it on its side and put insulation board on the out side. placed two heating elements out of those little electric pits you get at walmart that have the controller on them. Been using this for cerakote works great. Thats is all I have to contribute at this time.

Welcome to castboolits sendit! I like your idea for an oven. I have been thinking of using a gas smoker in the same way for PC on larger items. You are right, there are a bunch of people asking the same questions over and over, but with a thread that has over 2500 replies there will be some without the patience to read through it all.

.......and over........and over..........and over!

If people would just take the time to read, 80% of the questions would be answered. There is a lot to read, granted. But education does not come in a one-setting batch!

I will be the 1st one in line to help someone that wants to learn & know. But after answering the same thing 5+ times, it gets a little bit old.

My advise is use the search engine FIRST. Not the little white box, but the "advanced Search" below it and let it do some narrow searching for you. The white box brings up EVERYTHING ever written about anything even close to what you are looking for. Waste of time.

Have fun!

Try this one for searching! I think it was Montana Charlie who posted it.

It's one of the problems with a forum based topic like this. You get people asking the same questions over and over because they don't want to read through 100 pages of responses. You get people posting "look what I did" and "me too" posts. In things like this, a traditional web page that someone updates with information in response to various questions might work best. Maybe something like you see on the LASC.us site with a FAQ page? Maybe a wiki page? Personally, I prefer traditional web pages over a wiki page since you tend to get a lot more information there and you are not limited by what someone else tends to think that all pages must look like.

first and secound test run,
Thanks for all the great info guys.

[bangerjim]

I think it is time to lock this thread down to keep it from getting any bigger!

Start a new one for REAL technical information ONLY....not "lookie what I made" posts??????
Have a separate thread for "boolit bragging rights"?

Thoughts.....comments?

I admit, I didn't read all 128 post, mainly because of the "look what I did", repetitive questions, and sketchy instructions/descriptions. Everybody that submits replies isn't a writher and some are just difficult to read and some are a waste of space, and it's hard to sift through every post looking for one that has a positive contribution to the thread...

Ok finally geting around to it

Will be doing a second test here,,

Some of us more active members in PC have discussed (and cussed) on PM's about starting another thread PURELY AND ONLY for instructional info, instructions, directions, technical stuff and NOT for "lookie-loo's" for what someone has "done last night". Those belong in another thread completely. I am as guilty as the next because there is no where to put it right now! And that garbage just clutters up the thread for those new guys looking to learn the art of PC'ing.

So far nothing has happened.

........same theme............nuisance threads:
It's the same with new threads always popping up: "SCORED some lead today". Who gives a crapola! Find your lead and cast some boolits. And keep quiet about it!

Most of us do not give a darned if someone finds 20# of WW's setting on the side of the road. Or finding something at a tire store. Or having a buddy give them a tiny roll of roofing lead. I find lead all the time and do not post a new thread about it.

Guess we need to start a thread entitles "SCORES FOUND TODAY - ONLY" and put all that dribble in there.


just my view.
