ultrafine we must have been typing at the same time. no offense take. there is more than one way to skin a cat, the more options for travis, the better.

Thanks Eagle
I hope you guys? Folks? Fellow posters? don't think I am trying to argue for some new miracle process for welding cast iron, the best method is still pre-heating and a slow annealing process with NiRod. We used to actually bury the parts in a tank of asbestos until fully cooled that was before the use of it was outlawed.

Well boyz, I don't know if we did a damn thing to help out Traviss, but as usually I learned something. Thanks UltraFine for the integrity response. That shows you are a class act.. I hate pissing matches on here. Us technical guys can leave that to the Jerry Springer Forum (General disscussion area) as I call it. As for you Coke bottle glasses boy, I am launching this weekend (Friday) and if all goes well will take a rip to the Chesepeake Inn Saturday. I'm bringing a load of chit I need welded so you better show up with your welder!! If not, the first round is on me anyway. Stay cooool boyz!!
