As you say they are labour intensive for little return. What people have to understand is they all must meet a standard no matter what size they are. You get what you pay for and the quality you produce always stands out
So I’m familiar with spelter as a crappy pot metal. Is your use of Spelter as it was used to fill the air void once you have the frayed end seated within the socket (though I’ve seen you use some sort of resin) or is Spelter the name of the fitting you add to the cable? Or is it something else?
@@hanginwithdaddio Interesting, thanks. Spelter, the crappy pot metal, was used in turn of the century (1900) die casting before aluminum became prevalent. It polishes up nice but will not stand up to heat. It too is mostly zinc.

Thank you.
I have heard of them

Spelter is the type of fitting used. Back in the day we used zinc to pour these sockets, but the resin is easier to use.

I can pour sockets all day long, pass a drug test and show up everyday but the commute is way too long!
I hear you. You never did tell me where you work?
