You can use dry ice and alcohol , but liquid nitrogen is best, and you can get it from large welding gas suppliers. The brand will be cold enough when you see frost moving up the shaft to the handle. I use 8 seconds (ie, like a bull ride!) as the usual holding time, but some dogs with very thin skins, usually females, will scar at 8 seconds, so if you think you have one, go less, 5 to 6 seconds. If it does not take, try again in a few months, maybe at another site. |
