[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1820016, member: 29632"] Verifying temperature is what I'm struggling with in my mind right now. Forgot to pick up some sand today, so I'll grab some from the masons at work tomorrow. I have some trash brass that I have been saving for just such an occasion so I'm gonna give it a go with the method Watson suggested, just crank it up and dip them in. But I am trying to find somebody with some temp measuring equipment that I could borrow just to test it out. Thought about tempilaq, but kinda seems like a bad idea since it will be out of the sand in order to be visible, so by the time it starts working the heat will be too far down the case body. So it's got to be a sensor in the sand sensing I would think. Also as Mikecr mentioned early on the thermal coupling in sand is horrible compared to liquid, so stirring the sand will be necessary to keep the temp somewhat even throughout the depth.But hopefully tomorrow I wont get stuck at work late and will have some very crude preliminary results to share.
