[Paul Alciatore]

I picked this up in my adventures and thought I would share. I guess it is shop related. My shop, anyway.

I wonder if hemp oil would make a good flux [/humor]

Same thing with campfires --- smoke always seems to follow you around,,,

in a related topic concerning "flux" I know some local welder's, most old school who got there start with stick in fact 3 in the same family two brothers and their dad who all came down with different cancers, the other guy I know or should say knew who did allot of it came down with bone cancer, there's so many nasty ingredients in flux and newer mig machines that are still using flux core instead of inert gas is just as bad so be careful use a fan or whatever to get the stuff away from you....
