My parents never stood a chance. I even managed to get a dog when I was 12 instead of having to wait till I was 14 by telling them I was going to get a badger (they'd made no rules about that) so suddenly I was allowed a dog - but NOT a badger.As your Ma used to say, "We'll see".
Peining (probably spelt wrong). Weld a couple of inches, stop, T**t it with a hammer, weld another couple of inches. Don't ask me why, but that's what I was told by an ex BOC gases man who knew his stuff. Enter Technical Al...

Its stress relief but you need to do it as qucikly as possible whilst the weld is still hot. It releases the build up of internall stress and reduces the chances of cracking. Make sure your aim is good, twatting the cast iron is not good.
Thanks Al, nice to know I wasn't the brut of a joke! Can you clarify..is it the actual weld you tap? I seem to remember this guy constantly tapping the iron itself (not hard, just frequently) whilst he was welding (which sounds very tricky so maybe I'm remembering it wrong - it was along time ago...anyone old enough to remember the Volvo ad with a robot made of volvo parts?)
i was under the impression that welding cast involved heating it up first.

How come technicAl gets to say it, when the rest of us have to us those bl**dy stars?

What bloody stars? I always thought they twinkled. Bleeding knuckles yes, mine are as raw as a baboons a**e. D**n I see what you mean. who's policing this site?
Thanks for clearing the mystery techAl..and useful information.. might even give it it go myself and risk the tears- I have quite a bit of cast junk and even some cast rods...somewhere.Oh and don't try welding cast unless you HAVE to even with proper cast rods. It will end in tears- I know!
