Found-The ULTIMATE Mold Smoker!
« on: October 01, 2004, 10:37:21 PM »
Got to thinking today ... casting for 15 years or so and smoking the molds with matches ... I'm tired of them wimpy matches! :D

When I was casting up some round balls today, I looked up on the shelf and saw one of those never used outdoor Tiki type torches ...bells and whistles sounded!

I took the 6 inch can with the wick in it out of the bamboo stake - put some lamp oil in it - lite the sucker ... and smoked the mold COMPLETELY BLACK.

Man, did them balls drop out like scalded cats and not a wrinkle on them to be seen!  Goodbye matches!

If ya really want ta smoke a mould I gots an acetylene torch, turn the gas on with no O2 and it will fill the cavities with soot. ;D ;D  Never used Tiki torch, do they really have a use? ;D  Ok just funin'  but ya got ta quit buyin' wimpy matches.  Get about 5 strike any-where real lucifers in a bundle and light, will smoke the cavities in a big hurry.  Course I could wait till my neighbors are havin' a Bar BQ and their yard looks like some bad TV show.  Suddenly a guy that looks like an extra from Lonsome Dove dashes inta their yard witha bullet mould, runs up ta the nearest Tiki torch and starts ta smoke the cavities.  The guest that are new ta the neighborhood gasp in wonder as the figger heads out the gate and heads home.  Who was that they ask?  Oh thats the neighbor, he's crazy but we put up with him cause he bakes really good bread. ;D

Sorry John Boy, I've had too much coffee, it ain't a bad idea though. ::)

Dang!  I must have about a dozen of those torches in the garage back in TN.  Have to dig one out.
