Today was beautiful and I began it making some Ben's Red lube and a mould to make lubesizer sticks with it. I then made a wind deflector for my Turkey fryer and deactivated the dumb 15 minute timer switch Bass Pro put on it. You can't cook much in a deep fryer in 15 min. and you sure can't smelt wheel weights that fast. Just removed the timer switch and wire nutted the wires together. I then smelted 3 five gallon buckets of WW and ingotized the melt. I need to make more ingot moulds, too much time spent waiting for ingots to harden. The wind deflector really helped speed the melt along. Tired but happy.
