Thanx, Steve

We have regulated pots. The Tinning pot holds about 3 gallon, of Babbitt, and the pouring pot holds about 5 gallon. The tinning pot is set from 610, to 640. The pouring pot runs at 950.


What most people don't know is, a Pine Stick was used on " LEAD BABBITT ONLY ". Long before the right Temperature for pouring Tin Base Babbitt, a pine stick will explode in to flame.
