I used borax as a flux this time, but will try kerosene next time around. The borax ate through the lining of my forge in no time at all so I'm looking for alternatives. Since I'm not confident enough in my forge welding skills yet to go totally dry, I'll give the kerosene a shot. I've been reading good things about it. I also made a sacrificial tray out of some refractory cement to try to protect my lining, but the cement I used acts like a bit of a heat sink, so I'm re-thinking that too.
