I mean, maybe it's just me but I finally got my forge welds to stick every time by just adding a pinch of borax from the grocery store baking aisle.

Grocery store borax... that's a solid tip. Reminds me of when I was trying to fix an old cast iron pan and someone told me to use salt and potato skins to scrub it. Sometimes the old kitchen tricks just work.

That salt and potato skin trick is wild, never heard that one before. Did it actually work to get all the rust and gunk off, or did you have to follow up with something else? I've got a pan that's in rough shape and I'm trying to avoid using harsh chemicals on it.
