No mate, I've been trying to do what I understand the old timers did (as I'm only a few sleeps away from being a pensioner) in that they whipped a sliver off the end of a sheet so that they were welding with parent metal. Not that I plan to polish the Group 5, but there are polished sickle tanks in the head , so figured I should try.

Sorry I've just twigged that you probably mean me trying to fuse the 3" discards together as I'm from t'Yorkshire... Doh!
