Well, in the spirit of being frugal to the point of silliness, I have found a new source of fluxing material.
For several years, I have used Gulf Parrafin with great results. There was a time when I used boolit lube too, usually either homemade stuff or White Lable Lube's BAC. All work well and will flame up to prevent much smoke BUT, I have found a source now that causes the material to be supplied by my wife! That's right!
MY WIFE NOW BUYS MY FLUXING MATERIAL FOR ME!
I can hear some of y'all say, who cares. Then, and these are the folks I am speaking to, there are those that say: "Tell me MORE!"
Okay, I will......Scentsy! That new fangled smelly candle stuff that they have out now. Maybe your woman hasn't found that yet. Mine has and I am glad of it!
Let her plug that light in and melt her smelly stuff away. When she notices that the "smell" is gone, tell her that you know just what to do with it and carry it to your casting area.
There is usually just enough smell to make it interesting but in the pot, MAN, that stuff really works!
Cheap too and, I figured y'all could really appreciate that!
After all, isn't saving money what casting and reloading is all about?
