Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one 
trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy�ooh hoo hoo hoo�the 
sky's the limit! 
The Tick


Quoting "Kenny O." <phat@cavenet.com>:

> To-day I witnessed a demonstration on building up cast iron with a Ni
> spray.A torch is the method of delivery. A bottle of Ni (nickel)was
> screwed into this custom set-up.
> 11# of acetylene 20# oxy. The torch has a trigger, when pressed the
> powder comes out with the flame. The torch tip looks like a welding tip
> with a O2 trigger on it.
> 
> The piece was one half of an old crank style blower. One of the ears was
> broken off where the two half s screwed together. First the piece was
> heated up to about 400* F. Then this slick
> torch started to do its thang. The end product is a brandy new shiny
> tab. He wanted $ 500.00 for the set-up. I can post pics if you want to
> see the process. I thought it was rather pricey.
> If I did lots of cast welding and happen to have 500 clams I'd have one.
