-**How to extinguish the gas forge:**
+**SOP: Extinguishing the gas forge:**
   * If you are not finished forging for the day,  you can use the ball valve for ease of use. Close the air/venturi port to prevent a heat chimney. While the forge is still red hot it will relight instantly.
-  * When you are finished forging for the day, close the valve on the gas bottle, and let the forge run until the line is clear of gas. Close the ball valve and air/venturi port, and disconnect the gas bottle.
+  * When you are finished forging for the day, close the valve on the gas bottle, and let the forge run until the line is clear of gas. Close the ball valve and air/venturi port, and disconnect the gas bottle. The yellow safety cap must be put back into the gas bottle and the gas bottle must go back into the gas storage cage even if the gas bottle is empty.
-**Do’s & don’ts of the gas forge:**
+**Forge Best Practices:**
   * The gas forge is for steel only. No galvanised / zinc coated / stainless / copper / etc, If unsure, ask. Absolutely no hazardous materials such as lead should be placed into the forge – This will earn you an instant 3 month ban as we will need to replace the forge for safety.
   * Certain metals such as copper/brass/titanium may be used in the gas forge after a discussion around the required precautions. (eg: melted copper in the forge will permanently contaminate the forge and prevent all future forge welding from being successful. Precautions to avoid melting copper into the forge should be taken)

   * Don't put hot tools back into the tool rack. Put them under the forge until they are cool to hold.
-General Forge Area Safety
+**General Forge Area Safety**
   * Bring a water bottle – forging is hot work and you need to keep your hydration levels up.
   * Always remove cut off hardy’s from the anvil hardy hole when not in use.
