This is how I'm able to pre-heat a 4" section of 1-1/4" rod. This method allows you to literially have the rod ready to work in less than 3 minutes. Saves big on gases and most important, time. My take on it is once the holding rod is attached, the expansion stress in the middle of the rod is "nulled" out when compression stress form when heating the surface. I've worked with 38 mm which is about the firepower of my touch.
