    My new aquisition

    Look at what I got yesterday. It is about 300 lbs of #2 marine babbit. It should really harden my WW alloy. Pretty good haul for not costing anything.

    Gee, iff'n it's marine babbit, think what will happen if you water drop 'em.

    Congrats—that's the best price of all.

    Blammer,

    #2 marine babbit is basically a generic term used in the dredging industry to designate babbit used to pour shafting bearings. It is not a specific alloy per se but group of high lead content alloys. I should have realized no would know what the heck I was talking about.
