Drying hot-rolled steel in kiln for wood?
I saw a guy going over some hot-rolled steel bar with a blow torch
recently. When I asked what he was doing he said he was evaporating the moisture from it. Sure enough - I watched it myself. The process is that he'll fabricate the chair, blow torch the whole thing, then rub beeswax all over it. Seems pretty labor intensive. I'm wondering if we couldn't just put the whole dozen chairs in our wood kiln for a few days and achieve the same effect. Any thoughts? (Note: our kiln has a dehumidifying unit, but only reaches temps of maybe 100F.) JP ************************************************* Also posted to rec.woodworking. |
