    Question homemade shot

    I have just got a shot maker and tried to use soap as a coolent. Well that did not work to good shot was popcorning bad. So I changed to hyd fluid works great now after two runs I got about 150lbs of oily shot. Now I got to clean it. Instead of minrial spirits was thinking about useing some of the soap I got a few gallons to get rid of. I was going to add some water soap and boil it and dip the shot in . Has anyone tried this or should i just dump the soap in the towns water fountain. That has not been done in a few years.

    Default aftermath

    I have not done it myself but have seen it three fountains in a large pool that is atop of a hill. Soap will overflow and start down the street fire dept has to come out and wash it down. What was good clean fun 20 years ago is now a felon I bet.
