Don't ever take on a galvinized frame fix project!



no matter how many people tell you you can weld galvinized steel !  you can not do it right no matter how much you clean it or grind it off .!  1 gas lense ruined , 2 number 7 cups , 1 tungsten ,  1 mig gun end , 1 "miller elite " clear front shield !     replaced bottom tube and welded up 20+ holes !  FTW

  1. Who the fuck would galvanize a frame!? The only decent way to weld galv is to grind away from weld and 1/2 inch back from joint and use 7018 rod. Tig is such a mess to do and unless you get it very clean I don't like mig on it. Also please tell me you had good vents and wore a mask. The galv will attack your stomach lining. Drink milk to help line the tummy.

  2. Maybe you're already done with the frame but if not, Muriatic acid is the thing to use, then sandblast the rust off and it will weld like it's supposed to.
