You are correct. Cadweld, Exothermic, or One Shots ARE made for this
purpose. They are the same thing. To clarify, Cadweld is a company, not a
type of welding or product. Exothermic Welding, is a type of welding that
companies like Cadweld provides. One shot is a product that makes Exothermic
Welded connections, and the One Shot is a product by Cadweld. Hopefully this
helps.
