Weld thru Primer...where to get it?

I've heard of it, and seen references to it. So where is it available? The local Miller outlet counter guy looked at me like I was nuts. My Dupont outlet never heard of it. The local farm supply store knows nothing of it. SO? Anyone in the St. Louis area know of its whereabouts?

 

I used to get it from a NAPA that had a good paint and body supply. I believe Larson Products was the provider.

 

Body shop supply stores have it.

 

Eastwood has it

 

Got mine at a body shop supply/paint dealer

 

Ditto on body shop supply / paint store. I like U-pol brand myself.

 

I got mine at Tractor Supply, but that was in Cincinnati and a while ago.

 

Canadian Tire, Eh!

 

NAPA here has it. Its made by SEM....good shit......there are cheaper kinds though. From my understanding its primer with alot of zinc in it.

 

3-M part number 5917.

 

Note, make sure to wear a good respirator when you weld over it. Zinc shakes are no fun.

 

I have recently started work for Kimball Midwest. An excellent company with a vast inventory of shop supplies. Follow the link for the weld through primer.... http://www.kimballmidwest.com/Catalog/CatalogIndex.aspx?p=2828

Please PM me or call me (727) 808-0932 and I'll get you set up. Remember my offer stands; Hambers get a discount.

P.S. I'll be at company training for the next three days and away from my computer so just call me if you wish

 

If you buy Sherwin-Williams brand it is half the price of 3m brand. The Sherwin-Williams doesnt have NASCAR on it, thus half the price.

 

I use the SEM brand exclusivly...after trying 3M (clogs), Evercoat, Dupli-color, Eastwood and a couple others. SEM sprays well and welds nice. I just bought a few cans from TP Tools, they had a special and was cheap even after shipping, or check smart shoppers in Louisville. Dont buy anything that has been on the shelf forever.

 

Wurth have a product called Alu-Zinc.Is the best i've ever come across

 

Same here on the 3M (clogging). Been using U-POL lately with good results.

 

SEM is good i sell it at my work and use it myself only good things said from alot of people that have bought it

 

+1 on the WURTH Alu-Zinc, I've used others and this is by far the best. If you have a WURTH salesman in your area check it out.

 

glad this was grought up cause i was looking for yhis as well

 

The 3m is the best. It's expensive and it only clogs when you don't shake the shit out of it for a minute. After that, the wurth is good or if you can get it, dan-mig is good too. Any body shop paint supply store should have it.

I get mine at Fleet Farm, Mar-Hyde brand...about 4 bucks a can. If the nozzle plugs, I remove it and blow compressed air through it.

 

We have it at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

 

I have had good luck using the Krylon Zinc rich primer. It is a lot cheaper and you can get it at any parts store that sells Krylon...

 

I have been using the Kimball Midwest primer and it works great. Their paint is good also

 

Resurecting an old thread in case there are new/better sources.

Anybody??

 

ran body shops for over 15 years and no other product works as well as the wurth. you can really see the difference when a repaired car comes back 10 years later and the pinch welds are coming apart with rust from a crappy weldthru primer

 

I got it from my local PPG store

 

SEM, copperweld !

 

I think most use zinc, but I just bought some U-Pol and it has copper instead of zinc. Anyone used it?
