Prime as you build with Rustbuster Weld-Thru primer. 

On certain fabrications inner sills etc. you will have to build from the inside before the outer sill can be welded on. This scenario is perfect to use our weld thru primer. As you clean and cut each section weld thru can be used this will prevent any future corrosion Weld thru is dry and ready to weld in 5 minutes. When welding new steel to the Weld-Thru coated steel the weld will have better penetration with the minimum amount of burn back. The weld can be cleaned and coated prior to the application of the outer sill panel. When completed the sill can then be injected with a cavity wax…"Rustbuster Corrosion Free Engineering" 

 

Better surface preparation will ensure best results apply weld through to coarse DA sanded, MBX die blast cleaned or blast cleaned steel.
