Re: I'm VERY VERY EXCITED
Hey Tim doing some nice work there.
Just a follow up I spoke to Dad about the roo and he reckons it was Black's FC that was cleaned up, the FB was purchased to replace the FC hope this clears things up.

Re: I'm VERY VERY EXCITED
Gas shielded wire is the go Tim, I use BOC argoshield universal or argoshield light as the shielding gas....This will give you a better weld and weld appearance than a flux cored wire..cheers Boomer.....
Re: I'm VERY VERY EXCITED
Looking good, Tim

This paint stripper is the best I have used. Environmental and user friendly. It does not harm the skin or anything else. A bit messy but then they all are, and it is easy to clean when you have the paint off.
Google Soy paint stripper you will be surprised how well it works. Not cheap but it goes a long way.

Re: SunnyTim's Nitro Factory Black FB 215
tim i use those discs and love them but be carefull they can cause heat just don't concentrate in one area, and make sure the speed rating is not exceded i'de heard of a guy putting the big ones (designed to spin at a slower speed for use on a buff) being put on a 9" grinder and flying apart
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping

Hi Tim
What Boomer said. All the welding on my wagon was with gas. I fronted up to the local BOC outlet and organised an account and rented a bottle.
If I had my time again I would use an orbital sander on all the large surface area panels - roof, bonnet, doors, guards and blasting on the structural stuff and door jams I would use sandblasting (garnet). Ask Dave Bootlegger what grit he uses - I took the rear quarters back to bare metal with an orbital but can't remember the grit we used.
regards
Stewart

Re: SunnyTim's Nitro Factory Black FB 215
If you dont use the wire on a regular basis, take it out of the machine and seal it in a plastic bag with the sachel of silica garanules that it originally comes packaged with.
Then stick it back in its original box and store it away in a dry place.
Or if you are lazy,like me,chuck an old t shirt over the roll inside the machine and chuck the silica granules inside the machine near the wire somewhere.
It works for me.

SAFETY WARNING !
Anyone using a blaster - DO NOT USE SAND !!! Sand is banned in most if not all circumstances due to a charming dust disease called silicosis (Google it). You can also expose yourself to silica particles dry cutting sandstone and similar exposure. Even when using garnet wear a minimum P2 dust mask as you are otherwise going to inhale anything from road grime and rust to paint paint particles. Lungs are designed to inhale air - not much else.
Garnet (120 mesh - fine) is the go for edge and crevice work, and with some old sheets or cheapo plastic drop sheets you can retrieve a lot to reuse.
Have had a Rupes orbital for years that makes panel work a breeze.

Re: SunnyTim's Nitro Factory Black FB 215
Tim i use paint strippe and a stripper disc. They are fantastic. There are two types. A black one which is softerand more flexible and a purple on which is hard and stiff and lasts longer. I think i prefer the black ones even though they dont last as long.SunnyTim wrote:Yep have had a gas bottle for years but if you don't use it the rent is high and the wire goes rusty in a few weeks but I just think it is time to make the switch back
I have used paint stripper and orbitals in the past, but everyone seems to rave about these stip discs (heaps quicker?)
Tim
Also those retractable blade holder are useless. I have another type that screws together. I dont remember where i got it from.
Dont forget to wash the panel down with lots of water after striping to neutralise the reaction.
Sandblasting seems to just wrecklarge panels. I dont know about the other methods.
Ive had problems also with the dipping stripping methods. One with the coating they put on to prevent it from rusting again and rust problems later on due to everything including sealers etc getting removed.
