This is my first post here, so please cut me some slack if I'm asking a question that someone has already answered. This is the best topic I could find to ask my question.
I've not used Kast-o-Lite before; I've been using Satanite. With that stuff, I mix it to the texture of a thick paint, and paint it onto the wool insulation. I do several coats, and usually build it up to about 1/4 inch. It's kind of a pain, and it takes a while for the first coat(s) to dry before painting on subsequent coats, but it does work well. My question is: Will this method work with Kast-o-Lite? I've had good results with the Satanite for a number of years, but after reading some of the comments about Kast-o-Lite here, I want to try it out.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Freezing Propane Tanks. A Different Solution
in Gas Forges
Posted
I've only seen a couple of mentions of this as a way of eliminating tank freeze, but I just built a two-tank manifold that draws from two tanks at once. Haven't had a problem since. Of course, the fact that I live in Florida may have something to do with that, but even when the temps are below freezing, the tanks don't freeze.
I finally got a 100# tank sitting outside the shop, and ran a line through the wall to a couple of quick-connects inside; that works well, too. I modified a couple of forge burners to use for blowtorches, and put a few quick-connects around to hook them up where I want to use them.
