can you use cold galvanizing compound (primer) as weldable primer?

found some at Lowe's and was curoius... says you can spray spot welds with it... but don't specifically say it's weldable...

says it's 93% pure Zinc...

Stay away from welding any type to galvanized metal. It produces poison, acidy type fumes that even small amount can be much more hazardous than you would expect.
I think what you described that they are selling is for coating the weld to protect from rust and corrosion in the future. Been wrong many times but am certain this is not one of those times.
Be careful. Want to see you finish that good job you are doing on the 914.

A harddrive full of music is super. Must be some on it for doing the 914 ramblers jig at a ramble. LOL
