Default Re: Removing flathead studs?

I was told by a friend that he would heat and soak with penetrating oil hours earlier and then weld a nut onto the stud and the heat from the weld would be much hotter than a torch. this would allow him to put a socket onto it and begin loosening before it cooled.
The stud and nut are destroyed but easier than breaking and drilling.
