[TheForge] forge weld stainless?

[me at wargoth.com]

Jim Hrisoulas has a recipe that some of us refer to as "steel glue" that contains florspar and a few other ingredients that slip my mind. Stuff works a treat on most high alloy steels including L6 and Stellite. Stainless is certainly ornery to forge weld, but most alloys will weld at substantially lower temps than straight carbon steels. Just keep to your triangle of welding and I'm sure you will eventually get the hang of it.

One of the members of BAM wanted to know about forge welding stainless 
steel.  So have any of you done it and what flux do you use?
