This time I used 1/8" 4043 rods on DCEP at around 90 amps.
I was going to ask if you have spotted any Copenhagen mint at a tobacco supplier near you. The stores up my way just started restocking it. I'm good to go!
Here soon I'll be doing some cruising on the Lynches and Peedee. I'll be stopping by to play.
Neither lead nor welding the diff is a good idea long term, but I'd much rather heat lead in an old pot and pour than trying to clean and weld oil soaked hardened metal. I'm going the lead route until I can afford a detroit. The link below shows how quick the process is.
I'm reading it as more of a concern mixed with the shielding gas of the Tig or MIG process. I haven't used either. I know the flux coating on stick electrodes emit it's own toxic fumes and I safegaurd myself accordingly.
Thanks for the tip though. That's exactly the information that should be included for anyone interested in similar procedures.
I'll have to do some ingredients reading on my cans when I get home. I used the carquest brand this time. I made good and well sure the chemical was dried before I struck an arc to it and on the last application of it I made sure the welds were cool to the touch. This is all really good to know. My use of a respirator came in more handy that I knew.
Thanks everyone.
Well... Not much progress on the Jeep lately.
I spent the better part of the am hours at MUSC Charleston with my father getting an extensive hip replacement operation. On one of many sleepless nights over the last week I anticipated getting lucky enough to get a few hours of wrench time in on the Jeep today as part of my relaxation therapy after sitting bedside in recovery with my dad who made it through surgery very well. The biggest concern going into surgery was that a 63 year old man would absolutely have to quit drinking weeks prior to surgery for risks of not surviving due to DTs. A 45 year alcoholic did not find this easy, but it happened.
Still a long way to go but so far not nearly as brutal as being there with Mom while she battled stage 3 breast cancer for two years. She survived to be happier and healthier than she was proceeding diagnosis. Dad will do the same I feel very confident.
One hellacious storm swept through Columbia starting minutes after I get home.
It didn't fancy I get any work done today so I took a much needed nap instead. That choice wasn't all mine appearantly.

Very solid excuse! Only thing that compares to 4x4 is fishing...I'm busy getting my gear ready for a long brim, catfish and striper season. Camping gear is on perma-check but the fishing tackle needs a restock. And I'm terrible at remembering to order Jeep parts.
You have to admit, that's a solid excuse.
Can you stick weld my center to my tubes in the jeep?I could stick weld a bus driver to a 5 gallon bucket.
