Applying flux

How many of you ever tried using a flour sifter to apply the Borax??? I works really cool It takes all the lumps out of the Borax that falls off the billet when applying it.

Butch and I were talking about this the other day after he saw an electric, trigger operated sifter that his Grandmother has...Sounds like a great idea to me!

I have used a salt shaker with one of those silica dehydrating packets in the shaker. The flour sifter sounds like a good idea. I have used one to sift out wood ash before and forgot to wash it afterwards. My wife had a cow.

Bubba!!!! Wal-Mart has them for $4.50 all S/S and it's one hand operated.

You are lucky that she didn't make you have the cow.
