Re: Good morning daily
Got up early to do the aluminium welding, can't find the aluminium flux cored mig wire
Thought about the low temp aluminium welding/soldering rods .... yeah/nah, I don't want to be doing this again if that's not strong enough ..... so, coffee it is

Re: Good morning daily
Good morning everyone, and Happy Australia Day.
It's been a bit warm here, getting to around 34⁰ or so, for the past week or so. Nothing like the bottom half of Aust has been getting though. We had a little shower of rain last night. The storm split and went around us.
Every man and his dog is either at the beach or out on the water.
I spent most of yesty giving the little Jimny a thorough clean and tidy up. I've come to the conclusion that Bandits DNA will be in that car til it eventually goes through the shredder. Dog hair just hangs on doesn't it.
Hopefully, we'll get our Winny back soon, then I can put some proper solar on the roof and we can get away for awhile. I think I need to spend time with my grand kids.
Have the best day possible everybody. Safe travels.

Re: Good morning daily
Terry, if you are planning on using the flux cored mig to weld your door frame back together, find another way. By the time you clean all the powder coating off there won't be much left to get a weld to adhere to. Maybe form a bit of ally sheet to the same profile and glue and rivet it all back into place.T1 Terry wrote: ↑Mon Jan 26, 2026 10:13 am Got up early to do the aluminium welding, can't find the aluminium flux cored mig wireThought about the low temp aluminium welding/soldering rods .... yeah/nah, I don't want to be doing this again if that's not strong enough ..... so, coffee it is

Re: Good morning daily

Tossing up if I should get gas and the teflon liner and use solid aluminium mig wire, or just find someone to weld it up for me .... guess which way I'm thinking at the moment
