I used to skip the pre-heat step on repairs, but not anymore

For years, I thought pre-heating old boiler steel was a waste of time. After a weld cracked on a cold day job, I saw how crucial it is to avoid stress. How many of you stick to pre-heat specs no matter what?

Learned that the hard way on a cold day job.

Does cold weather turn your brain to mush too? I once forgot my gloves and tried to tighten a bolt with my teeth, which was as dumb as it sounds. Sounds like @robinstone and I have similar cold day stories.
