Thanks man. The Block was put through an oven-bake @ 525* for about 40min and then went into the blast machine which uses lead shot to blast all of the burnt contaminants off the surface, and then into a shaker to get out all of the lead shot. All brand new machines at school. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity while I could.
