I read conflicting statements....the heat after welding a cluster is "just stress relief" ....heat it to "blood Red" to re-normalize the cluster....There are temperature crayons that should melt at the proper temperature for a proper normalization, however the thought occurs to me that the torch might melt the mark before the metal is soaked to the proper temperature. ...


Has anyone used these crayons on welded clusters, any tricks... does it work? is the cluster normalized or just stress relieved (annealed)
