We propose a new algorithm to compute the order-order interface tension in SU(N) lattice gauge theories. The algorithm is trivially generalizable to a variety of models, e.g., spin models. In the case N=3, via the perfect wetting hypothesis, we can estimate the order-disorder interface tension. In the case N=4, we study the ratio of dual k-tensions and find that it satisfies Casimir scaling down to T=1.2 T_c.
