magi weld

i am running out of gas forge welding flux , i have been using Iron mountain ? what are you on ,what do you think is the best ?

Been using Swan Magic Weld. Tried some others, but the Swan has never let me down - especially in a gas forge.

That electric weld seems to be all the rage have you tried that

i will rephrase the question , what is it ? i think the iron mountain is better but magi weld has never let me down

yes but i am an eco warrier and itnot wired tomy tree

I have used both for prolonged periods of time and have found iron mountain to be far better.

when you say better in what way?

cheers Marc , any idea of what it is exactly ?

Chris, I dont sorry the bottle doesn't give too much away. I think some of our american friends could answer this better than me.

John, I found that welds stick better and the scarfs blend in beautifully with the iron mountain when welding in a gas forge. The iron mountain tends to localise the heat and speeds up coke forge welding too.

IM seems more reliable and i reckon needs slightly less heat but it could be my imagination , i also think you dont need as much

i have never used IM in the coke

Well what type of bar shoes have you been making Chris?

straight , eggbar , preventer hinds , and the squaretoe with a trailer , the one for the isle of wight open next week , the 2 piece one you weld in the toe , also trying the forge welded calk , i will showyou at stoneleigh

what section are the 2 pieces and lenth
i have seen the shoe

1"x 3/8 , 1x6/1/2 1 x 5 3/4 , i have tried mainly with 3/4 x 3/8 coz i have plenty of that laying around

been trying the 2 piece c/w roadster with 3/4 x 1/2 welded in the toe as well

how much do you turn each hocky stick
