Welders? Any welders on this site?

[flushcut]

Ok the only gasses I have on hand are c25, straight argon, and tri mix for short circuit MIG on stainless. I have to try the o2 argon mix still.

I have had a birds nest but maybe two times in three ten pound spools. Hard wire has feed fine.

Feeds the same as 045 or 1/16 as long as the rollers liner and tip aren’t worn out.

Bart, dual shield is less breeze tolerant than intershield because of the gas shield. It doesn’t play well with any impurity’s like dirt grease rust paint etc. Great penetration and faster deposition, easy to weld with in any position.

Dual shield isn't breeze tolerant, it's just like mig. It's gotta be clean, but it digs like crazy and you can run large welds out of position. The metallurgy is the best out there, tensile strengths of 120k psi are achievable depending on the exact wire.

@flushcut c25 is 25%co2, 75% argon, exactly what you need

you all know who paul bunyan is well i think the trolly should be named after his ox "Babe' the Blue Ox and when you paint it, paint it some amazing bright blue color like a mix between sky blue and royal blue. wud yaz think aboot that name?

Well Babe The Blue Ox is a Wisconsinite. I have been leaning towards blue as the color. Possibly.

THe pink pinstripe running down or along the side and in the middle of it BABE would be first class all the way! That way housers would know what the pink stood for! joe shmo would have NO clue

Picked up the blue and primer today. Dropped off the tires to be foam filled but they are three weeks out FML oh well.
So when we were picking out paint we saw a can of pink. So I might just spray a spot of pink on the blue and name it such lol.

 

[flushcut]

What color is it?

Black? Hot pink?

 

[Tree09]

I just know what I'm gonna call it... so we're on the same page and all lol

 

[flushcut]

International blue! It’s sexay!

 

[Tree09]

You are a rattle can Picasso! Looks good man

Thank you! Two coats of self etching primer and three coats of paint.

Now if you could score some white walls

The rims are white.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Some old school Krager rims would be cool.

5 coats of paint and it will get all scratched first use. Too bad.

At least, I reckon that Kyle's painting is the most resistant you can find

 

[lxskllr]

Any color you want as long as it's brown!

 

[stikine]

What...no blue overspray on the dog?

The paint is mostly for the areas that don’t see use and abuse. The wear areas tend to keep themselves rust free
