[TheForge] quench questions

[Bruce Freeman]

..and fire.  Less flammable than some quenching oils, though.

If anyone decides to try this out, I'd suggest they NOT use ethylene
glycol antifreeze (yellow-green-dyed, toxic, used in car engins) but
rather propylene glycol antifreeze (pink, "non-toxic", used in RV
plumbing).  Aside from the issue of dogs drinking it, I'd be concerned
about breathing the vapors.

A little of the subject,
     Has anyone ever tried quenching in antifreeze?  High boiling point
would tend to reduce stresses below 400 degrees, I bet it would cool
almost as fast as water.  Just worried about vapor/smoke.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
