Coating Welded Aluminum

[Guest]

Gee don't get old! You forget stuff

Did someone say something about the type of welding used on aluminum that has to be made sure its really clean before you coat it? Or was that just on some custom bike frames that a silicon coated wire is used?

Thanks

I've had afew instances where welded alum areas OG like crazy. I just make sure to media blast and clean those areas VERY well before coating them, haven't had a problem lately.

Thanks for the info. I didn't have any problems when I did the new pieces for a boat and this is also new but was made by someone else so I needed to refresh my memory but can't find where the hell I left it

Thanks
