two questions about using weld thru primer, (assuming that proper usage is spraying primer on the backside of two adjoining pieces so that primer covers the bare metal that cannot be accessed once welding is completed);
1. Do you change the weld settings on the welder? It welds terribly with poor penetration. Or do you grind off the primer from the anticipated weld spot? If so, then it's defeating the purpose of weld-thru primer, is it not? it leaves bare metal. 2. After welding is complete, do you grind off the exposed weld-thru primer and replace it with POR-15 or primer of choice? |

The fumes are from the zinc in the primer. Burning the zinc gives off small amounts of Chlorine gas FWIW
