MancheKid86 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 hes saying i need to clean my steel but where I'm welding to is clean and the surface where I'm starting my weld is clean so how would cleaning the surface of the steel do anything to help it just doesnt make sense . it makes perfect sense, you have to clean the metal surface of rust because rust grows, you get rid of the rust and you will not be in the same boat as last time, leave the rust there and it will re-rust and you are hooped, and have to do it all over again, look at my build thread, viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13533&start=0 see how i grinded off all of the rust before re-painting? i did that for the same reason as i put above good luck man :thumbsup: hope this works out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find one that shows how to prepare the materials. :dunno: Pete, I have provided him with links to a couple sties showing EVERYTHING we have been telling him. Both in this thread and in PM's. He doesn't read or doesn't understand what we continue to write for 15pages now...
