I've had over waxed dirt before that was a sloppy wet mess. I just added dry dirt to it and mixed it into fix the issue. I find that mixing cold waxed dirt to hot waxed dirt prevents the hot batch from lumping when it cooled. Like you said just melting and mixing it would probably work out with help from the heat lamps and mixing it in by rolling it around some.

If I skipped the slow start with the temp sometimes they catch on fire. So its an outside activity.



I do the dry method

shake the bullets in a type 5 food container with the matte black air soft BBs and harbor freight red powder coating , then with a nitrile glove on dip the fingers in the powder then pick bullets out and set them on the baking tray on parchment on their base

I have a little convection oven I set to 400 and cook 10 minutes

it is all about if you have time , sometimes it is just wanting to get ammo loaded for a match or something so buy a case of coated from the store.




I tried dry but didn't get as even of coverage. I didn't have airsoft BBs in it, maybe that's why. I got the wet method working well enough and made buckets of them. I haven't done much recreational shooting the last 5y. Prior to that I was shooting quite a bit and regularly casting & powder coating. It will be years before I get around to powder coating again. I think I still have a couple ammo cans full of 158g powder coated.

Since we are allowed up to three bears a year here in SW Oregon, I’d gladly sell off a tag for two grand if legal!

I'm running 25" bars on my 500i, May want to try skip tooth chain if you're regularly cutting much bigger than that. As stated, watch for kickback, that's not the saw to be running if you start getting fatigued.

TV purchase trouble..Story time
Our flat screen TV got bumped other day cracked screen. Picture went all haywire. Wife goes online to Walmart finds one she like orders it. That was on the 24th said delivery by end of day on 26th. Now that seem fairly reasonable being that Walmart is just hair over mile down road. Could have picked it up easy enough myself, I said let them carry it to our door.
Then it begins.
26th comes no TV wife calls late evening was told order delayed. Be out tomorrow morning 27th no problem. 27th late afternoon no TV so wife calls again. Has some guy on phone is on speaker so I hear him too. Says I just put that unit out on truck myself for delivery. Should be there next 30 minutes or so. Yay think I can drive there in less that 5 minutes. So we wait and no TV on 27th.. huh dealing with a liar. Of course wife calls again gets some AI deal tells her order delayed 48hours not yet eligible to be canceled?? What? Me Im like have they taken payment on that yet? Wife checks bank saying payment pending.. I said call bank stop payment tell stuff TV where sun doesn't shine.
Wife say cost money stop payment cant do that on Sunday. I will call customer service again on Monday.
Okay more patient than me.
Monday comes no TV before noon so wife calls again. Gets a real person on phone. Is told once again I just put that order on truck 10 minutes ago. Should be delivered within hour??
Thank You very much.
Of course no TV was delivery on Monday 29th. Boy long story just for dang TV.
So yesterday 30th had an appointment with vet get dog up to date on shot.
Of course on way there and back drive right by Walmart. On way home wife says swing into Walmart going to go talk with them folks.
I said your more polite more patient. I will wait in car with dogs. Im exhausted just watching her deal with it.
So what happened???
Wife comes out with TV in cart.
Im not sure I'm buy the story store manager told her.
Apparently because of the Holiday. Store was using Ubers for some of the closer delivery. He said the two TVs that we were told had been put out for delivery were both stolen. Some how the Uber Drivers were showing the oder as canceled after they picked up the package for delivery??? He said he was in contact with corporate trying to sort out a mess. Had never happen before and he was trying to get it all straightened out. Oh boy.
Im wonder if it was really happening or his way of blowing us off. Maybe didn't want to admit his customer service person just told us it was out to blow us off??
We are not unreasonable. Understand things get delayed. Just tell us the truth if its stuck on slow boat from China.

I thought wife was maybe getting scammed. If that manager was making up story. Seems to me Walmart got scammed.

Thats my TV story of the day.

Whole another long story having to go online getting TV to work.
Couple hours lost to for our TV viewing pleasure.

… he seems to be of the mindset to let it ride till he dies

.. but several of us around here think he he should pursue treatment… got his wife driving him to and from work now cause his visions got bad

…. I was wondering what your advice might be knowing you went through something similar?

That's exactly how my issues began. My eye started to turn in because of a weakening of the muscle. They don't believe it was related to the brain tumor but it lead to its discovery. He needs to see his PCP so they can refer him to a neurologist, and then let the fun begin. MRI, EEG, maybe a CT. If he cares about his family enough he will seek a physician. I know it's scary but that's serious. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message me.

[quote=Bob_Iowa]Houndone is there a reason you picked a cant over a peavy hook?

The only reason I went with the can't hook is they were given to me.1 is all metal and the other 1 has a wooden handle.they have really helped in keeping the chains sharp longer without hitting the dirt/frozen ground.

Same here. In my experience a wolf carcass is some darn good bait for other wolves who have no scruples about eating their former buddies !
