Your research should begin with John Burton, and the Burton Method. He was a Brit, a metalurgist, and he is the one who first mixed oxides into clear boro for real boro color. The same way that Paul Trautman did when he sold his first few hand-mixed rods to Wale back in the '80s. He VERY quickly decided that was not going to work, so he set about to invent the tools and techniques for mixing boro color in -- and pulling rod from -- the furnace.
