Post by: morris condon on September 29, 2019, 03:06:47 PM

Could be an annealing crack, very difficult to see as your pictures are so small.

It does sound like an annealling crack.
I can't make out much from your images I'm afraid - I couldn't see the last weight you posted either, but thanks for having a go at posting them directly!
