# '''NO''' galvanized, painted, or otherwise coated steel in the forge. | |||
# '''NEVER''' use borax or any other type of flux in the forge. You will ruin the bottom of the forge. | |||
# '''Do NOT''' turn the forge up too high - just turn it up high enough for the work you need to do. '''NO forge welding temperatures'''. | |||
# '''Do NOT''' poke the sides or back of the forge with your piece. The back hole is slightly higher than the bottom firebrick - please gently place your piece in and then rest it down on the bottom of the forge. | |||
# Make sure the fuel line is '''NEVER''' touching the side of the forge. | |||
# If the torch is sputtering there is something wrong. Try to give it a little more air and more fuel. If that doesn't work, you might be low on fuel. If it continues sputtering turn it off and alert the Area Host. | |||
# Always assume the forge, any nearby tools, and the surrounding area is hot. | |||
