EZ weld tig rods has any one used them? My heating is a 1920s french stove. I recently had to strip it down as I saw the light of the fire where I shouldn't have. The side panel was pushed out and needed re cementing. Noticed cracks in 3 panels. These rods are supposed to weld cast cold. I made some 10mm welds and bang they cracked. I then placed a petrol stove underneath and heated the panel up until spit sizzled. Then proceeded To weld 100 mm of crack bit by bit (having drilled the end). The filler @100 amps flowed nicely and was well chuffed no cracking after half hour. At this point I was called in for dinner and turned of the stove, when I returned There was a crack right down the side if my weld.
Found a mate with a pottery kiln fancy a repeat but with more post heating over the whole panels this time any ideas any one?
