as a new comer to this site i'm a little disapointed to see the breakdown and the tit-for-tat between Mr. Smith and Thomas. We all have different opinions and have all seen and heard about different things so please guys can we keep the thread about welding. I would like to try both Borax and sand to see how they effect the steels. Granted a will be starting with mild steels and then later with tool steels. Is it better to use borax for both?
