Aluminum boat engine part, this stuff sucks to weld
[IMG]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm148/Glen440/IMG_20130129_064342_zps2fbadebc.jpg[/IMG]I may have some welding pics tomorrow if they don’t push something ahead of it.
Nice work Glen thanks for sharing :clappy Could you take a few pics of your booth when its empty?It looks like an old pressurized crossflow booth and I am a bit nostalgic :blush: I learned to spray in one back in the mid 80’s.
booth is a disaster, if I ever get time I will clean and paint it, painters didn’t do any maintenance. I cheat and crack the front doors open to slow down the air movement so I get less dirt. Bake lights are still in the front but have no tracks. Its a Devilbiss of some sort.
What is this usc paper im seing a lot on posts around here…
looks good. wont break your stones about not removing emblems cause I remebered you said you work for the government :p
I bet a stack scrape, filter change,and that booth would work great,crossflows work well with waterborne if you ever had to use it.I got some pretty nice jobs out of the old crossflow I learned in 😉
On that black hood I was tacking door filter hairs off the base between coats. They changed pulleys on the fan motor years ago to increase airflow cause of the lead paint in the yellow cars.
That car they said didn’t need to be good so i saved them some money, I had to remove the window cause I had to get paint on the inside.
My old job we had to R&I everything.
I did a lot of this doing dealer work. Makes ya a much better masker!

bet youll see a big difference if you scrape that floor and keep it wet
What I did today. Welded a couple lower units from boat engines.

[IMG]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm148/Glen440/IMG_20130208_110106_zpsbc3ca9e9.jpg[/IMG]Those came out nice. Spool gun on a mig?
I only use the tig for aluminum. I tried the mig years ago and didn’t have much luck on anything dirty. Tig helps clean and I know its not just sitting ontop. The boat aluminum pinholes when you melt it. These were good ones, have had them come in twisted and missing way more.
Seems like you have quite a bit of skill Glen, keep the pics comming, good job.
I had an interesting thing come in for repair this week. The place that made it could not fix it and no longer had the mold and wanted to make a new mold to make a new one. Its some kind of door on a boat. I love aluminum for its repairability even cast. I had a spot I could not weld at all, was something in the aluminum.
I would show more paint stuff but just doing peeling crown vics right now. I’m backed up with work right now.
