Hello,
Years ago as a teenager I worked at a Farm Bureau Coop grainery. My job was to unload covered hoppers filled with bulk feed suppliments.(ground molasses, bean meal, etc.) In the humid summer days, the feed would always stick to the inside walls of the railway car. The only two ways of loosening the feed residue was to climb inside the car with a shovel(not the most desirable way on a hot afternoon), or hit the car walls from the outside with a sledgehammer repeatably. The result was alway denting of the car, but no damage to the paint. I'd like to replicate those "hit marks" on some of my hoppers. Has anyone done this? I imagine heat is involved.
Thanks, Mark
PS A bobcat loader also made a heck of a dent! LOL
