B52, they might drive on the opposite side of the road & their battery connections on vehicles are reverse polarity (positive ground or should I say earth), but it would give it character like the "cold shut" looking crack in outback's blade & many others who have one. I might even have one in my herd!

And Rob, Mike ships to the amicable colony just north of Buffalo as well. Less teasing about your spelling,,,hehe...just sayin..

Yep, got my heat block paste the other day for the Barber-sori. It came in a much bigger tube than I expected.

I think your on to something there,

But i would presume so...

Oh they have trains there but they more than likely use their steel. I don't know how obtainable a piece of their track is..........

If you look at the pics from everyones anvils when they posted their arrivel or on SOTD.
some are sanded on different ends (the upright part). Notice the direction of the curve of the top of the rail to the side polished. [emoji6]

Don't know if their still around, their not very far from my home either.
They call it a micro heat beam.

Here's a pic of a repair i did on my boat seat, after a guy knocked a cherry of his cigar , and didnt know it. Burn right thru, and into the foam cushion. Notice there is no melting of the vinyl around the repair hole. Thats what I mean by precise placement of heat. You control it. With your breath .

Wouldn't do it, after a few of those delicious tinis. [emoji39]

Well, I honestly don't see why I cannot get the right stuff to melt the cell and send that sucker down into the scale good. If I can, I may try to tape around it somehow and top it with epoxy. Mixing up a two-part and pouring over a scale is a pain and a messy one at that. Going to use my practice pieces some more and experiment. Slow-cure CA is on my Saturday shopping list.
IF I don't flood again. :eek:
