I joined in 2013 and really just now getting back to this site. Mainly been on Long Range Hunting and Long Range only. I have 2 Savages, really old 110V in 22-250 and a Model 12BVSS in 300WSM. I can't send messages yet because of the lack of posts. I've been trying to touch base with Texas10 as I had a question regarding salt bath and a modification suggestion he made regarding sealing off the Lee Lead Melter to keep the salt from getting in on the heating element. If Texas10 reads this here is my question:
I just saw this article. I have been salt bath annealing since 2019 and love the results. My Lee Lead Melter just blew a heating element and in the process of cleaning it up to get ready for a new element I ran across your article and comments. I've been trying to find a seal/sealant and I was wondering if you could point one out to me. I'm not having luck as the temp of the salt bath is about 525-550C. I do use a PID controller set up I built. I'm also toying with the idea of removing the resistor on the Lee and just allowing the PID to have all control. Any Wisdom and comments would be greatly appreciated!
