I know it’s been mentioned in a handful of previous threads, but I’d like to know more about everybody’s “dryo” setups.
I’m thinking of getting some AEB-L to play with and would like to cryo treat it myself after heat treat.
I’m leaning towards denatured alcohol and dry ice, unless there’s a better reason to use acetone.
Also, I’m thinking of a plastic igloo cooler or similar, but I was thinking of lining it with a steel pan or something more durable and then filling the voids with spray foam, or even just setting the pan on a styrofoam block in the bottom of the cooler. I’m thinking this will help keep the cooler’s plastic from cracking.
Is there a good ratio to use? If anyone wants to share their experience or setups, I’d appreciate it.
