@twg6669 Some of these smiths seem quite stuck in their ways, so when you question them on anything they get angry (not saying the video poster is one) :s i dont understand it to be honest lol.

Hadnt thought to use acetone to get the residue off before! usually sticks worst just where you cant reach, shal have to remember that and try it out :) i stopped using borax because it was a pain to clean, thanks!

@justj2 thats a good point, I have noticed some similar problems. I ended up coating the whole piece in borax, which helps retain heat (or at least lets you heat the whole thing up without burning it) and once i'm done I soak the piece in acetone to get rid of the white residue from the borax.....so now I guess its better to use the torch!!!! thanks man. I am glad that you didnt get upset from a question, i've notice that a bunch of "smiths" get angry when questioned.

[justj2]

@twg6669 I thought that, but having made those both using and not using a forge before, when you heat them in the forge it's difficult to get a long even heat and you often get scale and slag that sticks a few of the bars together which can be a pain to fix.

That's my thought and experience in any case.
