[TheForge] A36 vs 1018

[Chuck Robinson]

When Bob Patrick worked as a restoration smith, he averaged about 120 forge welds per day. Practice makes perfect.
He also told me that the Borax corp. won't own up to it, but  he finally found a chemist at Borax that told him they add an anticaking ingredient to 20 mule team Borax. It tends to inhibit the weld because it melts at a higher temperature than the borax and impedes the welding process.
