cleaning NOS cutting torch tips

I guess that depends on how much you care about the microwave. At work there are two microwaves that I donated, which left my house for one reason or the other. The big one used to be an over the range whose replacement fan cost two thirds the cost of a new one, so it became a table top. I pushed the start button and just as fast hit the stop button. I only saw the fireworks out of the corner of my eye; I wanted to make sure I didn't miss the stop button! A fellow did come running because he thought I was being stupid (well, kinda...)

If you do a google search for "bronze casting" you will eventually find a person that has a technique for melting bronze in a microwave to pour into a ceramic mold. See

this does not wok try looking for info on "The Reid Technique" or RT

Wazzat one of those freudian slip things, or was it intentional "pun"-ishment for some transgression that we, the readers of RCM, don't realize we committed? :)

(Seems the article I read mentioned that someone *REAL* close in the "nuke bronze and pour it" development effort was asian, but it was months ago that I read it, so memory may be playing tricks)

re: Don Bruder Strictly a typo. Sometimes the fingers are slightly behind or ahead of the mind.

Even so, ain't it amazing come of the things they type when we ain't looking? :) :)

Chuckle! Is there a hidden message here? Don?
