Marty Pfohl General Interesting operation and narrative Gary! Your article begs 2 questions, however [sorry..] 1. what is the distance for this move? 2. how much molten does 1 of these bottles hold and at what temperature? -Thx for sharing! [sure hate to see the mess if one of these derails, too!] 10/23/2014 1:17:24 PM
