More bad news. Last weeks east coast storm took out the power to the foundry for about an hour or so late at night. No one was allowed to go to the foundry due to the tornado warnings in our area so things go downhill from there. When we lost power our two slurry mixers, which hold our ceramic coatings, shut off. The ceramics settle out of the mix rather quickly and the polymer binders start to react when not stirred. So both slurry mixers are now tubs of fairly expensive concrete. To add insult to injury, the safety switches did not activate when the power came back on and the motors for both mixers are completely burnt out. In fact we consider ourselves lucky to not have lost the building as the whole building was filled with smoke the day after. So yet another delay to add to the list... I will let you guys know when things start shaping up.
