no.... you missed the point. Let's take it back a few steps and maybe we can clear some things up. First of all... we value your posts here. Don't stop. That's key.... you can agree or disagree with me and that's fine (as a matter of fact, I like getting my feathers ruffled now and again... the end result is that we all become better coaters and find new ways to solve problems). My point is (and I hope you don't see this as something that's offensive) that there are MANY ways to cure a part, IR and otherwise. If you have a question about a certain manufacturers system or it's values... then I have to chime in and say "no no no.... we don't talk about such things here". I always wind up the bad guy in these instances, but I have a "job" to do. If things slip then it becomes common place and we tend to forget why we're here. It's certainly not to alienate you from posting, and it's certainly not to constantly badmouth other manufacturers or suppliers that are in fact direct competition for Caswell (you've no doubt actually read posts where I've chastized people for badmouthing. That's not why we're here. WE have to elevate ourselves in this industry and break down the barriers should we choose to become innovators). You've also no doubt seen my posts where I chime in (as much as my feeble knowledge of the subject goes anyways) to help others build thier own ovens. I'm not in direct violation of "Caswell Law" because there are *some* things IR ovens are good for, and some chamber-type ovens are for. I always help to guide for the best possible outcome, no matter who makes the sale. Those who know me on this board can attest to that fact as my main business is a consultant in the field and large equipment supplier for such things. If anything... I've pushed sales away by doing that.
It's like this,bud. I didn't mean to offend. I just have a function here. Yes, of course there is more than one supplier for anything in this world. We all know this. The point is to keep this a "promote from within" type of place and I have no doubt in my mind that it's a fun place to be at the same time. I certainly apologize if I made it seem as though you don't have a place here. By all means... you have one on this forum more than I do, truth be known and it's appreciated (each and every one of you is looked at in the same manner). I don't get paid to be here, I gain nothing in this "forum" but sharing knowledge and of course, learning from all of you. Take another look at the posts and if there's a question that wasn't answered that you have.... we'll ALL do our best to assist. I KNOW you know that to be true. As for being "rebuffed" about my information.... you can all bring it on, for that fact,lol. If I'm wrong, you all know I'm the first to say so and insert my mint flavored shoes. I never said I was the pinnacle of information, just a guy that knows a few things and is willing to share
Quite often I forget to "scale things down" for hobbyist uses, or for that fact.... build it up for industrial applications. It's a mistake much like any other I've made in the past and no doubt I'll make quite a few more. After all.... I'm only human.
