Can anyone give me some ideas on welding stainless trim? Can you gas weld it with some type of stainless filler rod? Thanks for any help
if you have a mig you can get stainless wire from your local welding supply store. They say you should use a different gas mixture but I have had good success with the gas setup I normally use with the stainless wire. It grinds nice and buffs excellent.
I asked this same question awhile back. Several people said to tig weld with special mix of gas and use a scrap piece of your trim as filler rod.
"Ledsled" I don't have a tig welder, I was thinking that maybe gas welding with a piece of scrap as filler would work but I may need some type of flux or shielding gas, don't know.
Are you talking obout the window trim or cuustomizing side trim? The window trim will be more forgiving than a thick piece of side trim. I'm in the process of finding someone to redo mine. One stainless restorer that I spoke to, who incidentally doesn't weld the trim, made mention of creating a copper buck to allow the heat to dissipate and absorb evenly. I also second using a junk piece of the same side trim to create welding rod so that the color/tone remains as close as possible.
