The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will. Vince Lombardi
Territory Trends
As we look around at the wild world, it is certainly interesting. Fires, floods, earthquakes, and money being made. We are still seeing improved output from our customers. Within our territory, event he customers that had not quite picked up yet early this summer are seeing longer backlogs and very good bookings.
I hope and trust that your business is strong. If it is not, let us know as we may have customers looking to outsource. We actually have several customers now running at full capacity.
If you are having trouble bringing good labor to the table, we sell some of the best automation tools in the business to cut labor. From automatic molding, to robotic grinding, to fully automatic core blowers, we have you covered.

What’s New???
Well, maybe not new, but we wanted to let you know that we actively stock these very boring, but ever so useful, foundry products…
- Silver Core Daub (the MA Bell version that was around for so many years
- Quick Dry Core Paste – our core paste goes farther simply because it comes out of the bottle better!! You actually get to use all 3 pound in the bottle.
- Ceramic Blanket – we stock both 1” and 2” 2300 F blanket
- Slag Coagulant – both standard “kitty litter” and a refined version especially for iron that causes a greater chilling effect that caused grey and ductile to stick to the slag coagulant better.
We do have many other nice boring products in stock to aide in your production. Curious if we stock something or you would like us to stock something, just let us know.

Tech Corner
For you induction melters out there…
Are you tired of trying to keep a plastic top cap on your furnace? Tired of patching it and it still falling off?
With the help of Capital Refractories, we have a new product offering called Coral BDT. This is an alumina based dry top cap that sets up with sintering and melting heat rather than phos bonding.
This product expands at the same rate as the furnace lining thus eliminating the heavy growth associated with common cap plastics.
If you would like to try Coral BDT, let us know and we will be happy to schedule a trial with you.
Thank you for giving us a few minutes of your busy day. If we can be of any service to you whatsoever, please don’t hesitate to call 830-935-4430 or email us at
