I may have ruined a brand new 358-200 RF 6C with out even making it as far as the lead pot.
Having adopted the NOE prep scheme I may have left the new Lee on an electric burner on a plate for its 3rd heat cycle for 19 hrs ..... it cooked all the anodizing off the sprue plate .

Finished transferring all my alloy materials today into the storage boxes I built. Worked like a charm. Heavy as heck but the hand pallet jack doesn't have any problems rolling them around. Finally, my barn is coming together in that this project has been completed.
