Thread: finally started welding the roof (pics)

Tweet

actually on some of my practice welds I was using the cut off wheel .. pulling it along the weld to shave them down... wow that is going to be a lot of fun ....I was going to use a regular filler then a skim coat... is that not good enough should I use the fiberglass impregnated filler then the regular filler then the skim coat for best results?? I was told that regular fillers now a days would be okay ... I am a kind of perfectionist so I want to do it right heck I have gotten this far why mess it up now.... any advice on the visor install??

thanks

\I prefer the Metal to Metal first....,it offers a moisture and air resistant seal to the welded area.... Probably not essential, more a matter of personal preference...

As for the visor, like everything else, I like them welded and smoothed.....
