The secret part - I believe there are 3 essential parts. Correct heat (white hot), cleanness of surfaces (no scale or oxidization) and just the right amount of power when doing the weld. It's so easy to hit too hard and ruin it. Too weakly also doesn't work... It's great that you like the engraving, thanks! Dan. The secret part – I believe there are 3 essential parts.
