--------> Thank you.  Thank you. Thanks. etc

from that article...

"...With some practice under your belt, you may want to try a burn or flame
test. Take a slice or hidden part of the piece and burn it with a small open
flame. "

---------> I know this should be unnecessary to say, but it IS the 21st Century, with all that THAT implies. BE CAREFUL doing this, as a VERY small whiff can absolutely kick your ass. Some of the chemical agents we protected ourselves from in the Army contain many of these same ingredients. Simple. Stay upwind. Ventilate. Etc. Don't feel like it's overkill to wear a respirator doing this stuff, especially if you have any respiratory conditions. The smoke can cause corneal problems on contact,  including blindness.  Doesn't mean don't do it, just watch out. After all, you shouldn't breathe or contact normal welding smoke from metal either.
