Yes, I hear it works better when warmer. I was not thinking about that when I did it. I just wanted to do it. I kind of forgot about it and then next thing I knew it was winter and it was frozen solid. I wasnt worried about it splitting as it was sitting outside by my garage. If it did, it would have been no worse than when I dumped it out. What I want to get is one of those BIG 250 gallon totes on a pallet with the wire around it with a drain on the bottom and try even bigger parts. And a 2nd one for an electrolis tank. But if I do, it will be started early March and not pulled untill Oct. The wheels I did were BAD and they came out looking really good. Longer they sit, better/cleaner/rust removed they will be. Most of my projects are never "gotta get it done now" projects, so sitting for 6+ months to soak/derust is no biggie to me.
Glad to hear im not the only crazy one out there...heheheheeh
