Thread: Alloy boat modifications

Old corroded alloy is definatly much worse to weld but with the exception of corrosion repairs is not to bad as long as you make the effort to remove the oxide layer(you should actually do this with brand new alloy too but nobody does)
Welding old alloy boats that have been in salt water require wire brushing with a brand new never been used for anything else stainless steel wire brush for best results....you can get ss cup brushes for grinders too but it pays to go lightly with them as you can smear the base metal over the oxide.
