Mold Temp - Pot/Alloy temp

Mould is too hot if the alloy runs out of the cavity when you open the blocks.... I have seen it.

I have too and it can happen when the pot temperature is below 600 °

( Does anyone lament the loss of the degree symbol, or is it just me?)

Sometimes lamenting a loss depends on the ° of loss......

PS, GIYF
 
I U, G! (mostly). Windows 10, now that's another story that goes something like this:

 
¿What?

iPad iOS seems to handle this just fine.....

Ian, the forum would like to get you your own commemorative shirt.

That's the shortcut method. If you want to hunt and peck, click your windows icon and either go through the menus or just type "character map" in the search bar. Once you get into the character map popup, select "Cambria math" from the drop down menu and find your symbol. Click on that and copy/paste in the BB code editor. Actually, I think it works in the rich text editor now too, but if I recall we had to switch editors (wrench in upper right) to make it work in earlier versions of the software. The degree character is U+00B0 and there's a note on the message bar at the bottom of the popup that shows the shortcut "ALT+0176". Just remember the shortcut and you won't have to go through all of that. I usually just put a comma or asterisk 'cuz I'm lazy.
 
GEEEZZZ! That sounds like a lot of Bravo Sierra to go through just to get a common symbol in my post. I think I'll stick with degrees; K, F or C. Tony

Yeah, no kiddin huh? :confused: I can type out degrees Fahrenheit quicker than going through all those hoops. :eek:

I can hold "alt" and type "0176" on my tenkey in less than half a second. Only problem is remembering the code along with the ones for superscript and subscripts and a few different math symbols.
 
Ian, they fail to understand that ease is all a matter of °

doesn't work for me. Soooo I'm stuck with spelling it out
 
To me, at least, a lot depends on how old and set in your ways one is. I am an olde phaarrrtt! TJ
