today's project was to learn how to pour battitt.
Wind Bob was correct as usual. Thanks Bob.
Took 4 attempts to finally get it right !
Just melt the stuff out and try again.....
1st time, every thing leaked & splattered on the floor, that stuff is HOT !
2nd time, some things leaked.
3rd time, didn't melt enough babbitt.
4th time, PERFECT.
would have been simpler to purchase new from Aermotor, but not near as satisfying.
If you live anywhere near New Braunfels TX i would be glad to pour some babbitt for you as i am a
"professional " pourer now. I have burn marks on my shins to prove that fact.
