Farriers-Forge Welding Chalks on Horse shoes

[woodtick]

What steps are taken in preparing the chalks and shoes for forge welding the chalks on?
When I say "preparing" I particularly mean is there any special scarfing for the welded joints?
And I'm also thinking of heavy draft horse shoes with bar iron for toe chalks.

toe bars and heels ,just get a good welding heat and splash them downno flux or scarph , when i started all the heavy work horses had bars and heels.

Thanks bruce!,
The reason I wasn't thinking of the heel chalks too much is because most of the new shoes sold here have extra long iron at the heels to be cut off or bent up for chalks. And if not I figured they would be welded the same as the toes. again thanks.
