Re: Galvanized metal welding

My method: Weld outdoors only (unless you have a high-end air evac. system
at your welding area). Position yourself upwind from the weldment. To
weld: take and hold breath, weld, stop and step back and breathe. Let
white smoke--that's the bad fumes--clear the area and go at it again.

Anyone know of a way to make the welds in galvanized fence tubing
rustproof?

I use this:

I would think the zinc in the tubing would transfer to the welded joint.

No, the zinc transfers straight to your nostrils. If you plan on
having a long career in welding, DO NOT BREATHE THE FUMES.

Any
thoughts appreciated. TIA Ted
