[TheForge] New Discoveries: Ersatz EZ Weld

[Peter Hirst]

Not nearly the volume.  Real EZ Weld is 35-45% steel shavings.  Even on days 
we do  what for us is a lot of cutting, we get maybe a tablespoon of 
shavings.  with the mill, I get that out of one pad in two minutes.

Why not go to the band saw and get the cuttings

The epoxy solvent series was so much fun I thought I'd contribute my own
discovery.  I need a bunch of EZ Weld for an upcoming project, and seem to
recall it is just borax with iron filings.  SO I have been pondering what
might be a cheap easy source of iron filings.  Filing iron, as it turns out,
is not it.
