Another Soda Can

admin

I did this can with 4943 and it welded very nice, much better than the 4043 I had been using since the first can....I did weld one with 5356 which Terry recommended and it welded nice also.....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v9...psyaesrlfq.jpgLast edited by B_C; 04-23-2014 at 11:17 PM.  Miller Dynasty 350Twenty Six HammersThree Crow BarsBig Rock

Reply:Nice!!!
Reply:Turn the heat down to 50 or so and use a 040 red tungsten sharpened to a point....1/16 filler and keep the filler under the heat of the tungsten and keep moving.....Tack in two spots 180 apart  wash the cans out and dry on your stove.....clean the weld areas with scotch brite wipe down with acetone.....punch a hole in the bottom of one can first.......  Miller Dynasty 350Twenty Six HammersThree Crow BarsBig Rock

Reply:never had much luck repairing Aluminum Rims......Unless you have a way to bring back the Hardness your kinda wasting your time since they get annealed when you  weld on them.....Just my opinion   Miller Dynasty 350Twenty Six HammersThree Crow BarsBig Rock
