Man, your foreman knows his stuff. I had a job on some 1.5 inch T-1 steel, specs said 250 was fine. We bumped it to 300 and went slow, let it soak. The difference in how the puddle flowed was night and day, no underbead cracking at all. That extra 50 degrees is cheap insurance compared to a failed x-ray.

My neighbor just paid about the same for a sliding door screen. Said the guy had to order a weird size track.

That's such a mood, honestly.
