I always thought you had to heat a big flange joint to get it to seal right

I was on a job in Toledo last month and the foreman told me to try a cold set with a new gasket compound, which I thought was nuts. It held a 250 psi test with no leaks at all, which completely surprised me. What other old school rules have you guys found aren't always true?

Yeah, that "question everything" feeling hits hard. Nancy's right, it does stick with you.
