[TheForge] Horiz Band Saw, welding

[Jerry Frost]

Personally I like a mixture of 1pt. Boric acid, cheap 
enough in the pharmacy section or available as Roach 
Proof, to 3-4 pts. borax.

I don't know if adding saw cuttings to it would help, 
though some commercial welding fluxes have them.

I think it's an excellent question though and await 
your results with anticipation. <grin>
