Well, it has been so long since I cast anything, I lost my Lee pot in storage,, somewhere,
So, I ordered a Lee Production Pot IV.
I ain't being cheap, and trying to save electricity, or anything , but, I am thinking abut adding an insulating layer to the pot.
Rather than save energy, the pot would stay at a more stabile temperature, if the heat loss were reduced.
Also, newly added metal would melt faster if the heat from the heating element is melting metal, not trying to heat the planet,,
so, this might make the Production Pot more productive!!
I think I have searched correctly, but, I have not found anything pertaining to DIY insulating a melting pot,,
I do have on order what I think I need to make the PID control.
I can not foresee any problem with adding insulation,, am I off base?
If there is some interest in my progress, I could take a few pics,,
So, has the Lee Production Pot been insulated before? Is there a link available to lead me to the project?
Thanks
