Right on Roger! Thanks again. I just finished watching the first one, and it's cool to see the progress/improvements you've made to an already great channel, into an even greater one. Simple, to the point, professional and informative.
No worries, brother! Life happens and it's all good! I'm sorry I haven't been able to make it up there for a visit and check out Cimco yet, too! 😟 Hopefully 2022 I'll get a chance to make the rounds in Illinois! 🤞🙏 Working with someone else on a visit to Bill (Scrapping Together) hopefully soon. Also want to see Steel Kingdom, Scrap & Pallet Man, Shane Man, and Midwest Smelter. Maybe hop to Indiana and catch Jimbo Scrapper, too. Happy New Year, Seth!! 🎉
New Subscriber C U SCRAPPING. That is so cool, how you spray very little of that diluted stuff and it turns black, bubbles, or stays the same on different metals. I'm still new to all this. Learning through Roe Mantics Videos, he gave a shout out to check your page out. I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing and teaching us. Wishing you and your family A Wonderful Holiday Season.
Thank you for the sub, Claudette. Roe is a great guy I am happy to call my friend!! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy (and prosperous) New Year!!
@@cuscrapping I'm not sure why they would do that as diecast is usually zamac or a mix of zinc copper and aluminum and possibly magnesium but I'm not sure on the last one
@@davegdm954 If I had a car, I would, don't have one tho, so I will most likely continue to sell it as aluminum, as that's what my yard buys it for. 👍👍😊
Magnesium generally runs about .15 less than cast aluminum at my yards. I'm guessing it's less because you have to be REALLY careful when refining it and not let it catch fire. Burns extremely hot and you can't use water to put it out, or it will explode!!
Thank you, Laura. It's always fun to both teach and learn new things. I have learned so much from people here like Allen, Dan at K&D, Ewaste Mike and many others.
@@cuscrapping yes. I've also learned a lot from other scrappers Especially KandD Okie, you, E-waste Ben. D. Jerry has taught me a lot of street smarts for dumpster diving.
My yard just takes them all and calls it "cast". I was very surprised as I was use to separating them from a prior yard. No I've fallen into the bad habit of not checking.
I have seen quite a few yards on TH-cam that take it as Cast Aluminum. Wish my yard did, because they pay .40 for cast, and .25 for die cast! 😞It has been a while since I have taken any magnesium in, but it averages .10-.15 less than clean aluminum...and weighs less, too!!
Wow, I had no idea. I'm saving this video for sure. Question where and what type of materials would I look for magnesium in. I never thought about it before.
The most common items you will find that are magnesium is concrete finishing tools and Lawnboy mower decks. Other than that it will have industrial applications. Never use a torch on magnesium, as it can catch fire! It will burn brilliant white and DO NOT put water on it. It can explode!! It is a little less in price than cast aluminum, but for the reasons I just mentioned, I always seperate it because I would hate to think I was the cause of a mill fire or explosion! 👍
All is good Scrap Bongo. Been working for the last 3 days trying to get the hour long video off my phone to edit without success! My computer and phone aren't playing nice with each other! 😡😂🤣 May try to edit it down a bit just from the phone. 👍
@@cuscrapping Ahh ok good to know all is well with you. Lets hope you can edit from the phone. My computer was bonkers yesterday also /cheers ScrapBongo
I didn't explain in this video, but that is a good question. Stainless steel is best determined with a grinder. If it is non-magnetic, take your grinder and grind a spot. If it Sparks, it is stainless. Aluminum does not spark. If all you have is a file, file a spot. A file will gouge into aluminum faster and easier than Stainless. Stainless is very hard to cut. Hope this helps. 👍
That's how my yard does it too, but the die cast and magnesium are separate as well. Clean alum is .50, cast is .40, breakage I think is .15, die cast is .25 and it had been a while since I have taken in magnesium, but it is usually .10-.15 lower than clean alum. 👍
There are aluminum/magnesium alloys used. I have seen them used in chainsaws and lawnmower decks. The magnesium is added for strength. When magnesium is present, it will always bubble using this method. 👍
Is there a smaller amount you can buy? I would never be able to use this much so if you wanna sell a little let me know. Unless you know a place I can buy less. That bottle is up to $15 now and I don't need but maybe a few teaspoons. Thanks for the advice.
I did a quick Google search and it appears the 32 oz is the smallest they sell unfortunately. I understand...I have had mine for 5 years and used 4 teaspoons so far! 😂 Send me an e-mail (in my about section) and if you can give me a month or so, I can send you some of mine. I am between shops right now and everything is in storage, but when I get back into a shop, I'd be happy to do that! 👍
Scraping with Grandpa here and I’ve always been curious about this so I’m glad to find this video
Right on Roger!
Thanks again.

This video is GOLD! Bravo Sir.
Cool Roger! I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.
Certainly. Thanks for watching, Coonts and have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄👊

There's definitely alot of information in this video. Good to have!
Always like to make things simpler and easier. Thanks for watching! 👍👊
very interesting video sir
Great information.
Thank you, Phillip.
I hadnt even thought about checking for diecast or magnesium
Both are a little lower price at my yard, but it keeps them from downgrading my aluminum. 👍
Keep up the good work my brother thank you for the info I needed it
Very cool I didn’t no about that trick! Thank you Rodger
I learned that from my yard's non-ferrous manager. Had to share. 👍
@@cuscrapping Great tip!
I had just subscribed to your channel I thought I was already but I am now definitely useful information
I know how that goes, Bill. I have had that happen to me as well. Appreciate the sub! 👍👊
Really good informations my friend.... I didn't know about that trick.... 👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you. My scrap yard is good about sharing tips like that. 👍👊
Awesome and informative! Thanks Bruh!
No problem. It always helps to have info that makes our jobs easier and more profitable! 👍👊
I’m very sorry I fell so behind on your videos my brother 😔but I’m caught up now 🤗👊🏻

He learned from one of the best!
👍 I wondered when you would comment on one of my videos! 😂 I appreciate all you guys do for me!! 👍👊

Stop by on my channel if you would like, we have a bunch of copper videos
Thank you for the sub, Claudette. Roe is a great guy I am happy to call my friend!! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy (and prosperous) New Year!!
Another great video!!
Thank you, Dennis!
We're enjoying your videos. We want to wish you all Merry Christmas 🌲🎄⛄
Thank you, Ruth. Same to you and your family! 😊👍🎄🎉
Very cool and very interesting, unfortunately my yard does not buy any of those, except aluminum, but still good to know 👍👍
A lot of yards just take the die cast in with their aluminum. 👍
You might want to look for a yard that will buy less common metals aswell if possible
@@cuscrapping I'm not sure why they would do that as diecast is usually zamac or a mix of zinc copper and aluminum and possibly magnesium but I'm not sure on the last one

Thank you for watching, Theo! Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!
Thank you. What is the price from magnesium to any of the others
Magnesium generally runs about .15 less than cast aluminum at my yards. I'm guessing it's less because you have to be REALLY careful when refining it and not let it catch fire. Burns extremely hot and you can't use water to put it out, or it will explode!!
Merry Christmas Roger! I've seen Allen (sp?) Do it on his channel. I really like the educational way you guys do things! Take care.

Very useful info.. thanks :)
I will be making a solution like that so I can tell what I’ve got Scraping with grandpa here
Hi buddy just finished watching
Thanks, Bill!! 👍👊
All ok CU Scrapping? Haven't seen a video for a bit now /cheers ScrapBongo Liked

Where do you find magnesium the only place I know of is motorcycle engines maybe
It's not very common, but mostly for me in Toro mower decks and concrete finishing equipment. 👍
We use this stuff copper sulfate to make fungicide solutions in agriculture. The exact same stuff.
Very cool! 👍
You make have explained somewhere how do you tell the difference of stainless steel from die cast and cast aluminum?

Could you please make a video on the prices, my yard buys aluminum as clean sheet cast aluminum and breakage

@@cuscrapping great videos brother
@@JimboScrapper Appreciate that. Can't wait for you to hit 1K and see that welder torn down!! 👍👊
@@cuscrapping I knew 1 of my buddy's remembered that.👍
have you ever heard of a cast aluminum magnesium? just wondering what the older chainsaws from the 60's-80's were made of.
There are aluminum/magnesium alloys used. I have seen them used in chainsaws and lawnmower decks. The magnesium is added for strength. When magnesium is present, it will always bubble using this method. 👍

Magnesium reaction, what did I miss?
It's really hard to see on camera, but it bubbles on magnesium.
