Used oxy propane to try welding the nichrome wire. It melted but I don't think it made a good connection. Kind of hard to weld without a backing.
The oven in now cooking out the latest refractory patching and satanite coating. Will run it for 12 hours at 90C then crank it up and watch the splice burn out. Then I will try sandwiching the wires between washers on a screw.

Next day: Ran in up to, 400, 550, then 700C. I am letting it soak at 700C for a while. I am going to bake my native sand and play sand at that temperature to see how they compare. An hour or two should do it.
