[TowerTalk] Exothermic welding mold

[Martin A. Flynn]

Reply from NVENT:   I suggest using the GRC182G or the GYR182G molds as 
alternate.   Implies being unable to do this in a single weld.

Local substation electrician suggested https://shopalltec.com/gey-mold/  
He is going to loan me the clamp to hold the ring cable while welding 
(once the exothermic reaction starts, it often cuts the cable before the 
weld solidifies)

Ring cable is the lower pair, the cable to the tower is the upper.
