Default Re: What is this "vise"?

I also liked the grooves for the JB. Kinda like a keyway and far more gluing surface. And the escape hole was an excellent addition. In my 20's I did some side work with pattern making for a small bronze foundry. There I was introduced to sprues and risers. Of course the JB needs an escape path. I like threads like this I love to learn, improvise and innovate. I wonder if anyone has ever threaded in a zerk on a big repair and loaded up a cheap grease gun with JB and pumped away? And don't forget the escape hole! ( Is that the sprue or the riser? been about 50 yrs)
