Have you met the delamination demon. YOU know the one. He makes your
wrought iron come apart when you work the material too cold. Especially
when you have a large group of people watching you. : )
Seriously though, I have found wrought likes to be real hot when it is
worked. It really likes to fall apart when it isn't hot enough. I have,
however, straightened many old bent wrought bars cold and have not had
problems. My experiance is either cold or screamin hot. Let me know what
you think.
