Hi guys today at work I was welding on some galvanized for the first time and when I was welding together frames and I was having a little trouble, anyone have any secrets or little tips for galvanized? thanks.
Yes. Grind off the zinc where you need to weld. And wear a suitable breathing mask, galvy fumes are lethal.mspence0000 said:Hi guys today at work I was welding on some galvanized for the first time and when I was welding together frames and I was having a little trouble, anyone have any secrets or little tips for galvanized? thanks.
