You don't usually need temps that high for drying welding rods, usual recommended temps for that are in the range 100 to 200C. If you want to save garage space & not lose that facility, I've got a spare welding rod heated 'quiver' which would do for most purposes. To you, my boy....

I know, you really want an excuse to keep it, not to get rid of it.

I have thought of the powder coating, but then when I looked at all the de-greasing required and building a chamber to suspend hot articles whilst air fluidising the powder, I gave up on the idea. If I want black powder coating I can put articles through with some of works equipment.

Stove Enamelling I always assumed that was high temp like in glass enamelling will have to look that up. Plastics at around 125 to 140 degrees C yes it could be used to mold plastic over basic forms, ie build something in wood place a perpex sheet over the top and heat until it molded around it.

That might just work, I need to come up with a better chuck guard for the lathe!.

Oh by the way any interest in some marine engine books and a few general Petter op handbooks Peter. Bet you will already have them though PH PAZ1 and A1-AP1.

Cheers

Hi Tim;

It was set for around the 180 mark when I got it but loosen the screw and turn the dial.

What would you like for the quiver, is it 240 or 110 and is there adjustment? So many questions?

email if you wish, just remove spamtrap.

Smoking kippers ?

I bet the local cats would be around for that, But no I think I will pass on that

Adrian

Never tried smoking kippers - the cigarette papers weren't large enough...

.... Now't wrong with the smell of Kippers

.... damn softy southerners I reckon !

AWEM

Almost everyone is a southerner to you arn't they Andrew?

Smoked kippers, Ughhh!

Adrian

Well as an ex patriot Yorkshireman living in Kent, not really !

I'll check and see, I know we have most of the modern Petter handbooks, but there's always the occasional one that escapes...

PH for example came in air-cooled (PH) or water-cooled (PHW)

Well I must appologise most unreservibly! Old age is taking is toll and the old grey cells are getting fewer by the minute.

I have confused you with a canny Scot. I would be thinking or Moray I believe.

And as I am in Lancashire then you must be a southerner!

Now as you are in Kent, I am thinking of buying and old Stuart Turner marine engine and I wonder if ...... No must not wife would not understand wanting to buy old scrap metal!!!

It is an air cooled handbook.

The other two books I have are in hardback. Marine Diesel engines Fifth edition by C C Pounder. VGC.

This describes M.A.N. Sulzer, Fiat, Doxford etc, Faults maintenance etc.

I would describe this as a general reference book. Printed 1972.

Second is an older book MacGibbon's

M.o.T Orals and Marine Engineering Knowledge Steam and Motor.

Printed by James Munro and Co Glasgow. Yellowing pages. Not found a date but an advert is in old money and in the opening pages describes reproduction drawings of the Taylor Gravity Davit as fitted to the RMS Queen Mary.

I have no value attached to these as I picked them up from a flee market stall in the lakes for probably £2 all in and have proved a good read, but the information in them is wasted on me and if anyone in the group has a real interest then they are welcome to them, just arrange pick-up or collection or what ever.

You have first refusal Peter.

Cheers

If I can help with the engine let me know
