Re: Welding Fail! post pics here.

I agree

Till fails then have go looking for some one that job right. Then they will pay a lot.

Just think of all the JB Weld that fails or bad welds.

The quotes starts with
1) removing jb or ad Weld
2) cleaning get read for Weld
3) welding
4) machining
5) finished and paint.

Then will ask can do by hour
You could longer that quote your choice.

I have so many times in my life

The good news as do it again.

I got real good at removing JB Weld with a smile ☺ in my pocket book.

Ok it’s probably about bedtime for you now

Re: Welding Fail! post pics here.

No just saying what someone who really took pride in their work would do. You've improved a great deal but you've also been critical of coworkers welds despite them maybe having less experience. What's good for the Goose is good for the gander.

I think you’re comparing apples to oranges

Re: Welding Fail! post pics here.

They put like 3 layers of paint on anyway. 3 different colors usually I believe. Red, yellow then grey

Re: Welding Fail! post pics here.

Painters will do that part. They get it all smooth

Weld is good but needs a flap wheel to clean up the rough grinding marks. That's one of the things I don't like about new grinding wheels especially on curved pieces. They tend to cut in too aggressively.

Thanks man! Lay outs problem. They told me to ceramic weld it and I tried but not much luck. We ceramic weld a lot. Complete weld penetration that way and u don’t have to try and get a perfect fit up. U can have 5/8 gap I believe with ceramic
