no reason you couldn't use tape to help keep a straight line with the clay.
id be more apt to use a rosebud torch and just heat the edge u as far as I wanted the quench it.
as far as using a fancy stenciled tape I highly doubt that youd be able to emulate the tape in the hamon.
I kinda has a mind of its own.
I never get exactly the pattern I put the clay on in.
Trapper Rob:
Where do you buy your cement at?
KHalverson:
rob
most any of the big box lumber stores carry it.
also tractor supply ,ace hardware, family farm and home.
about any place that sells wood stove supplies will have it.
you want cement that is rated for 1500 f minimum.
