Got these.... SO NEVERMIND.......can be deleted

Check your PMs.... I think I can help you out.......

Unfortunately that is a non starter at the moment..... Find your Stir system FIRST. I have TWO if the original BAITJUNKYS ProStirs. I THINK Leonard may be the only place right now as it appears Bear is shut down due to his illness....And do yourself a service and order the 5 QT Presto online from Walmart. It ain't NECESSARY to have the extra capacity over the regular one but for a few extra bucks, you will be satisfied.

As you may now know......there is a post on his web store. I wish him a full and speedy recovery. I, for one am willing to let him try to get healed and back to work.....

Thanks for the update and post bryanmc.... There is an update on the BTS store site. To all of us; FWIW I actually spoke to Bob on Tuesday morning. Now that this update from his site is public, I feel ok discussing a little if anyone is interested. He told me in essence the same things that are disclosed on his site. From the tones in his voice, I felt he wa being honest. He DID NOT sound well at all...I won't disclose the personal stuff, but he needs support and prayer if you are so inclined.He indicated to me that he was going to have his sons helping out with the catch up and orders from now on. At least for now, I am going to give Bob the benefit of the doubt. Y'all do what YOU feel you must.

One thing I HAVE FOUND, is that temp control is the largest hurdle to overcome with Prestos regardless of the stirring motor. BaitJunkys gave me some guidance and I put together a PID controller for my pair of pots that keeps my plastic within 1-3 degrees of a set temperature for a couple of hours..and more if I need it.That said, I have used BOTH the motors from Bear's AND BaitJunkys... Each had good and bad, but BOTH will stir the plastic. But the so will a STICK! I DID find that with my BEAR'S motor, salt didn't suspend as well as the Baitjunkys....Maybe because of motor speed, I dunno for sure.... the SMALLER blades on Baitjunkys are once in a while a problem when the injector is sitting in the rack. But that is because when reintroducing sprue and runner cutoffs,I think I dump too many and they tend to hang near the injector. takes a while for them to integrate while melting. As a personal favorite, the BaitJunkys suits me fine...

There's a clone for sale on FB....I THINK the seller is a member here, but I don't kno wfor sure....and HIS mold is the one with the Loooong antenae in teh head....Dunno if that is what you are looking for.. Here's teh link; https://www.facebook.com/groups/1486988488215012/permalink/1808407769406414/?sale_post_id=1808407769406414

Bobby the info requested is in a PM.

My latest adventure was a custom mold design I asked Lakeside to do for me. Workmanship and customer service were top shelf, even after the initial design had to be tweaked.Gonna have another soon, and confidence is high in this company, like mine is with Bear, and Basstackle.

Thanks, guys, but I am SPECIFICALLY asking about the ALUMISOL product. Calhoun's, Bears et al are great products but I was hoping someone could tell me about any experience with IT! I'd like to hear before I pull the trigger and buy some.
