Hmmmmmm.  I may be able to help you here. I was at a machinist's the other
day.  We were talking about forging.  He said his father and uncle were
smiths.  He showed me their anvils and then showed me a box of flux that he
seemed pretty proud of.  Next time I go by that way I'll see if it is E-Z
Flux, and if he'll part with some of it.  Contact me directly at:
[email-masked]  in a few days.

I never did buy into the idea that Blacksmiths decline was
due to economic conditions.  Now that we are heading toward
a surplus of Blacksmiths perhaps.....
