I have no idea but it melted some mushrooms and leathers quite nicely. Hmm much like your situation. Hows your prime dosing been lately??

yeah thats usually why people don't use it. it collects a lot of detritus. you could replace it with sand if you wanted, or use a siphon hose on it to suck up the crud in between and mix it up a little to get to the white sides of the rubble
