    New Guy Here!

    Hello, new guy and new to welding. Well its been a long time that's for sure. I'm retired at 53 and spend a great deal of time working on projects, one of my current projects is an industrial firewood rack made from 2-3/8" pipe casing. Also re-decking a trailer with Cee purlins?= found some galvanized purlins cheap but worried about grinding/welding.

    I heard that it neutralizes the toxins from the zinc. My dad swore by it.

    I'd say the only reason you would even mention this is you are fishing for inquiries/accolades ....

    So I'll bite....

    How is it that you retired at age 53?

    Interesting! Thanks. I googled it. Calcium reduces the absorption of zinc, but that's if you eat it. Not sure about through breathing or skin.
