What do you mean by "Conductive" I use Lee alox as a coating for conductivity when ES spraying but it stinks when cooked. If H-T release is electrically conductive it wouldn't stink up my oven so much. use an ohm meter in a small puddle, if < 50 ohms, it's conductive. I use 2 cycle oil for my sprue lube but it's not conductive.
Whatever!
Popper.
I am thinking from your description that you are using the Alox as heat sink to measure temperature.
Is that right?
The Hi-Tek 500 plus, is a dry film.
It does not conduct heat, and is very suitable as sprew cutter lube and also as release agent for the molten Lead.
It is also an extreme dry film lubricant, so it can be used to dry lubricate surfaces to prevent or at least reduce wear.
After it is dry, it has no odour , and is stable yo a 1000 C in ovens.
Once the Hi-Tek 500 is applied to surfaces it becomes an extremely slibk surface which will not "stink" and will not transfer nor interfere with casting and coating thereafter.
well yea ausglock lam a big time instructional film producer now!
Ausglock, u wanta see fast? l'll show u fast, well lil' sample! Stand back a lil' so the blue flame want get ya. I made this for you. Alrite, l'll make ya a real speed one later. Iam bizzy, this is a big time outfit. uh! hehehe

that 1050 sure is a sweet press. Too many $$$ for me. I'll stick with the 550.
I paid a visit to HI-TEK Joe's production facility yesterday.
The security staff met me at the gate and gave me the once over.
I must say. I have never seen such an array of equipment in my life. There were machines there That I have never seen.
Everything was in a clean room. White cover-alls with booties and masks. the whole 9 yards. I thought I was walking into a NASA lab.
The Staff were friendly and came out of their enclosure to say G'day and have a chat.
I managed to leave with a few samples to try.
Thanks for the $2 tour, Joe.
Hooroo.

Sounds like you got a tour of the burbon brewing side of his operation, that's why the "samples" were in litre glass bottles :P
Don't worry about life, no-one gets out alive.
The new Green is very nice. Light Green and I'm firing them tomorrow.
Hooroo.

Gunoil, I'm jealous! I may have to break down and buy a 1050 and retire my 550. When i get in trouble from the wife, I'm going to blame it on you!
Hi-Tek, you get that smoker and the recipe down pat for that summer sausage, you can include it in your orders. Buy a stick for $9.99 and get a 5 liter of coating for free!

yea, gateway just go on and cheat and spend the money. Iam having a blast. I have mrbulletfeeder drop die and the swager upper push rod turned down so it just swages primer pocket, cause i run a mrbullet powder hopper step expander instead of stock bell one that comes with it. The grease they use smells like midland or pecos texas on pump day, wish they would change that.

Gunoil,
Have you any information on the grease. name, specification etc etc.
What is the grease lubricating?
I may be able to help with getting something that will work, and not be so unpleasant... lol lol.
May be you can send me a PM on it.
Hi-Tek: I was trucking to california from 02' til 4 years ago. 10 car parking lot twice a month. Sometimes that deep crud oil smell could knock your socks off. I dont know why dillon uses it, its not as bad as when it came out of box. I've wiped most off and put some other oil on. Man l love that 1050 press, hell, l love my loadmasters too. My cast are better now with your hi-tek 500 and my new RCBS pro-melt furnace. I figured after a year or so i needed new furnace and preventive maintenance too. Sold lee pot on ebay.
Dont know what they use it for.(the oil).
I almost quit casting one time, but kept reading this forum and lil' tid-bits here and their i got it. Good quality equipment is the way to go. period
