bktolbert Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Wondering if anyone knows/has tested what the equivalent of CD-12 (to CD-14) is? I mostly use CD-12 for my 3.25 inch containers, and it works well in most fos (close edge-to-edge melt pool after 3 hours). However, there are a few that tunnel. CD-14 resolves the tunneling issue, but I'm afraid it burns too hot (the container temps at >140F), and so I'm not comfortable using them. I would like to test the LX series but was looking for a ballpark estimate as a starting point. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just my experience but I've found an Lx 24 to be comparable to a cdn 14, which falls between a 12 and a 14.....this was in cbl 130. I would try the 20 through the 24...hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssorc Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The LX 22 i'm burning in a 3.25" tumbler results in about the same size (if not slightly smaller) melt pool as a CD-16 did in the same jar, so maybe something below that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
