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... |

Buy a can of Bloxide from Eastwood. I use the stuff almost daily and am very happy with it. It is a weldthrough primer that is VERY high in aluminum, high enough that if it sits for a few minutes it needs to be reshaken. As I have told others before, Spies Hecker makes a red/brown primer that is also a weld through, it also werks very well and has an "infinite" pot life. I keep a quart mixed at the shop and pour from it when needed, then close it back up. Either of these are very good but remember, you also get what you pay for! I also so no to the cold galvanizing. It is toxic and it does not weld easily, you will think you have a good weld until you take you clamps off and the panels will often seperate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)
