[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 563247, member: 6543"] I am a dry ice and alcohol man myself. Liquid nitrogen is too cold and too tricky and too pricy. For quite a few years I was struggling with branding and a year or two ago discovered that I was overbranding most every thing. Over brands will give a brand like a hot brand but it will hair over and not be easily seen. Last year I cut time down to 50 seconds and got the best brands ever, but last year I used a larger set of irons that I borrowed. Just branded a couple of weeks ago using my regular Irons at 50 seconds and dry ice / alcohol. they are just starting to peel now. time will tell. LN2 is way colder than dry Ice and so branding times need to be way shorter. [/QUOTE]
