Ebonite Hook Again Chamber
« on: January 14, 2004, 05:19:44 PM »
OK I got mine in yesterday and used it for the first time last night.
To my surprize i didn't know the compound that comes with the kit is in a dry form, I thought it would be a liquid ? So basically all the compound is , Is a
oil absorbant.

OK ,Here is my question to anyone that may have a hook again chamber or may be familar with the product. (1st off let me say i work at for a oil Co. and deal with sorbants on a daily basis) . So why can't i use a oil dry / sorbant in my chamber in replace of the hook again compound ? It will do the same thing draw the oil out the ball with out using heat or any liquid degreaser.

Alrighty guy's let me have it.

I use a product called quick dry. It looks like cat litter and its quite good.
I think Bob Hylka uses something similar. I just use a bucket that the ball fits in with about 1/2 inch space around the sides.
I would give the stuff that you can get a try on something old and see if there is any improvement.

I had mine free from a friend who uses it in their factory for spills.
I dont think its very expensive, just difficult to track down.
