Thanks. I have never used Shark Hide but will look into it!

Be sure to note we are dealing with sand casted aluminum as well. There are always casting voids. Better castings and better alloys will be less porous than stock ones. Billet is a vastly different scenario.

@@KevinBaxter Thank you Kevin I will be sure to differentiate between them, n just emphasis on on Sand casted Aluminum, I use to work for a metal recycling company years ago that had ways to extract nickel from all kinds of different manufacturing waste from spent nickel catalysis filtercake used in making cooking oil n margerine (which I don't eat any food made with hydrogenated oils, the waste product was hazmat n some of their loads caught fire! not any of mine , but still the thought of using such nasty stuff in food that surely causes cancer n other health risks is gross n insane, the end product they burnt in large furnaces n it was a fine podwer that looked like durt, but had up to 13 percent nickel, which mining it out of the ground is expensive n deep n even then the mines are lucky to get 7 percent nickel content, which as you know Nickel is used in lots of alloys too from the space indusrty's to race cars, to using nickel we need to make stainless steel, btw the waste spent nickel catalyst stunk to high heaven, the employees said they run it thru descenters n filters becofe it goes in the food thankfully but still just me knowing it was in there n how bad it was was enough for me, aluminum alloys are also very interesting in n and of themself, I bet his father in law has great insight, it might be a while before I see him he lives in another state, I see him once or twice a year but will ask him, n pick his brain a bit, take it easy.

JIMS. It may be discontinued now unfortunately. They make BigSerts. Oversize Time Serts for that very purpose. Just follow the same procedure.

what would you like to know?

@@KevinBaxter Evo wheels fit Shovel cases? I didn't know they were same-same.
