Re: [bolger] Re: Pouring Micro Keel
My guess would be that the oxide layer on the cooled lead prevents the new
molten lead from sticking. You might try breaking it up with a metal brush
just prior to pouring the new batch, and/or heating the old surface with a
torch before pouring...
Anyone open to performing some experiments and reporting back?

When I poured the lead in my centreboard (30 pounds) I did it in 4 small
pours because I had a small pot. I delayed the last pour, and found it
didn't stick as well. So you might want to keep the pours close together,
and don't take any unnecessary breaks.

Thanks, Dan
It was the fresh pour sticking to the older pour that concerned me.
I thought it probably would, but it's good to know that somebody else
has already had success with that method. Thanks also for the
suggestion about the tar boiler.

pours because I had a small pot. I delayed the last pour, and found it
didn't stick as well. So you might want to keep the pours close together,
and don't take any unnecessary breaks.
