    Thanks for the input Mike, guess we need more data and more cold weather

    Well the cold is certainly in the forecast for a few more months! I've used 10 gallons of kerosene in my shop in the last 6 days alone - may have to get a larger container.

    If you need to burn it faster... and then you can make a nice buffer/grinder/forge around it!

    I only tried my 80 grit, it's about all I use anymore.
    When I go out to feed the dog later, I will try it again, and the other grits too.

    Lemur I was laughing out loud at your engine because I could picture what that would do in a shop. Yes that would keep things toasty in any shop!

    I love watching afterburners at night from the tower! First time I saw one was when I was 19, a freshly minted air traffic controller, and was in the tower at night watching a flight of 4 F-104s do a formation takeoff. Better than fireworks!

    Ok. I found out that at -15f, it's definitely too cold in my shop...
    for me to stay in there and do any experiments.

    I'm only now catching up on this thread. I learned a long time ago that the hide glue based compounds should be left in the refrigerator and have had that habit ever since. Trust me, on a hot day, rancid hide glue will cause you to vacate the shop. I've always used cool compounds since. Dunno if this will add experimental information.
