Thermocouple question
I bought some thermocouples that were not welded on the end. Is there
something I need to do to these wires other than just weld them together

fusing
I am new to fusing and am having a hard time getting two pieces to fuse
all the way across. It usually fuses at the top and bottom and leaves a
gap in the middle. Do the pieces have to be perfectly touching to fuse?
I am taking it to 1450 degrees, do I need to go higher?
