Stopping rust on raw metal

[burninbriar]

I wonder what happened to all the WD-1 thru WD-39?

Generic pancake surrup.

Fwiw....

... 3M Weldable Primer

Product Name: 3M Weld-Thru Coating II
Product Number: 3M05917

"Corrosion protection coating in aerosol form designed to be applied to metal surfaces prior to welding. Dries fast in 10 minutes and minimizes MIG weld spatter. "

VERY EXPENSIVE

I was just going to say the same thing. I beleive Wurth makes a weldable primer, but Im sure its not cheap.

When I was in the sign buisnes we used sheet metal that was already coated. We bought it by the name "paintlock". You could spot weld through it, weld it and solder it. I dont know what the coating is on it but it may be the stuff you're talking about. It was gray in collor.

Check out www.kanolabs.com They make a long term rust inhibator. Their products, especially the Kroil works great.

More WD40 Please!

If your like me there is a number of empty cans all over. I finally found out what WD40,LPS, etc is. (Petroleum Distillate) Other wise known as diesel fuel. So just fill that old air powered spray can and have fun!

Gasoline, vasoline and some plastics are petroleum products also. That doesn't make them interchangeable.

Content of WD40

Check what the % of the additives is once!

So, you figure they gave up after 39 tries and just put diesel fuel in the can?

My can of WD-40 just says "contains petroleum distillates", like the cookie I had at lunch said "may contain peanuts or peanut oil". I'm not sure how that adds anything to the conversation. Please clarify.
