    which exactly match my needs for now.

    if ever the start up grow up into a sailing business,at one point an automated resizer is a no brainer. it becomes a '''need'' .

    i like the gatling feeder system.

    My Dad's profession was a welder. Pipe for local gas company for the most part. Even he got burned occasionally. And I am like you. Burned somewhere almost every time.

    If I buy one of the AS/2, with the RM and the GM in the group buy is the shipping $234 US? Or is the shipping reduced if all bought together?

    While I work at it, it is by God's grace that it happens. So it is best I ask him what, how and when before I start..

    no shipping on the RM as it fits inside one of the other boxes, group freight has never really worked out or been worth it as the all go to different destinations. Remember this is air freight so goes on weight not on box size so much. I dont send via Malaysia Airways either.

    Hatch is right, my bad. There is another thread for this here:-
    http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...t-Mod-for-AS-2

    So lets get back to talking about the problems coating with Hi-Tek. I cant contribute sorry because I have zero issues with coating. leading, flaking, so I have nothing to add.
    I do know it dont taste nice.

    Today, it was a sight to behold. Today, I set fire to retention stock of previous batches, Liquid and powder.
    I estimated that we burned about 250 litres assorted coloured liquid,
    and about 100 kilos of various powdered coatings. You should have seen the beautiful colours in the flame.
    I was dancing around the flames but had no marshmallows to toast.
    You should have seen all the colours of the Rainbow in the flames. It was magic.
    I though it was psychedelic experience. Or was it that I may have been affected by the fumes. LOL LOL

    MEK evaporates slower than acetone and is good for use in the summer when it's hot. (If you don't coat the boolits completely or over tumble the boolits you will get a rough coating).

    I use both MEK and Acetone. No difference to the finish.

    i'm tempted by mek. i don't have a problem with acetone,but you must act very fast before it goes thick, the key being exactly getting the coverage done before the sound change for a muffled sound ,which gives a rough finish, and ultimately may turn in the peeling of the product. the interesting point with mek is you can swirl till the coverage is complete without risk of a complete evaporation of the product.

    Or you can add up to 20% denatured alcohol here in the States to slow down flash off

    Fresh 122 flat points out of my new master caster. Zombie green. Apparently they are accurate. Here's hoping.

    de-natured Alcohol is Metho. Metho is very popular with the Alcos when mixed with Orange juice.

    Methanol will kill you... After it makes you blind. Ethanol is the stuff that's good with juice.
