OU812, Thanks for the info.
I really get along fine without. If things aren't fine, I know how to change temp. or pour rate or what ever to make it cast well. Just experience.
However, after starting casting in the seventies until present, I am just now trying to keep a log book on my most used molds. Better late than never. Recording accurate temperatures and settings for summer vs winter may be a help to me. I cast in my unheated building and get swings that need seasonal adjustment. An accurate point and shoot meter might be good for this. Okay, I admit it. ...I also have six LEE 20 pounders for most of my alloys I should join a twelve step program for those that can't stop.
Anyway, maybe you can recommend a price range for a reliable meter? I may give one a try.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
