Take a heat the temp you want to weld at
Heat a piece of 1/16th steel to same color
Touch the two together they should stick if not not right temp

Subject: [TheForge] Forge welding cable

I have a length of bright steel cable (1-1/2" diameter) that I want to forge
weld into a solid base for a sculpture. I'm using Z-weld flux. My first
attempt failed, I think due to a lack of heat, but I dunno. Maybe I'm not
getting flux in between the threads? Any advice? I'm going to check through
Zoeller's site, too, but I figured sending it out to y'all might help. 

Thanks,
Mark
