    How long would you go when using spit patches without concern?

    first i think that many have a misconception of what a patch, spit or lubed is used for. not feeling well enough to expound today but just wanted to toss that out. have loaded with spit patch and left the load for 30 days hunt. no harm no foul!

    question Thad, do you like the displacement method better than material removal ie. drill or mill bit for the decoration? i used a 1/16 inch end mill. worked but that punch setup looks like the cats meow!

    thanks Thad! gives me hope. John didn't say anything about it even having been shipped. only notification either of us had was a label was created. though I hate waiting, i know how to do it. been married 54 years so i better know how to wait!:ghostly:

    talked to John at track about missing parts shipment. figured 21 days was indicative of a lost order. he said it will be kicked upstairs for consideration. hope i don't have to switch the build to something else.
