I can understand experimenting Kyle. I also do not mess with W2 for all the reasons in the posts above and I do not have an electric oven to do it right, but I would use brine at 100 degrees and take my chances. That link I gave you above will also make custom Tempilstiks for 1475 if you want and they run about $12 so not too high.

Now did you get your uneven heat in your forge fixed? If you haven't you will have to stick to the higher heat steels, there's no getting around it and for W2 1500 is too hot. My brother and I had his forge fixed to hold pretty close to the temp we wanted by using propane and compressed air. Just an idea if you have a small compressor as it doesn't take a large air flow to get where you want.
