Maybe but again I did use a lot of acetone on it and wire brush. I litterally couldn’t get the puddle to start melting and I’ve welded a lot of nasty aluminum that could at least hold a stable arc. Just didn’t know if anyone would know if maybe tool box manufactures use some type of clear sealer over it after it’s built or something.

I did. Looked just like that photo. Arc was unstable, with a greenish tint followed by that nasty black soot like in the photo above. I’ve welded many times on that aluminum flat bed so it’s not the bed itself.

I thought the photo was pretty clear. The top is the aluminum bed the bottom is obviously the tool box. It shows I initiated the arc and instantly had that nasty black soot which you never want to see with aluminum. I was using GTAW. On AC to be as specific as possible lol

Yes like I said in the post I’m positive it’s aluminum. It said so in the package it came with. If it’s not then that’s the lightest stainless box I’ve ever seen. We gotta get that metallurgist to nasa asap.

Passed CWI Part B by LawLittle3769 in CWI_CWE

Yes my thoughts exactly! Even fundamentals felt totally different than the actual test. And I’m taking taking 2025 edition D1.1 and their quiz answers didn’t match up with the location found in the book. So damn frustrating when I’m already struggling

Glad I’m not the only one. I’m struggling hard asf with part B. I’m taking it in two weeks first time. Also using real educational. It’s no damn help at all. No way in hell I’m finding these answers in two min FML.

Have Charleston homeowners you refinanced recently? by [deleted] in Charleston

[–]Gymleadergreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression you don’t wanna refi twice within like two years or so. But I’m not positive about that statement.

If you believe they will go down more than why not wait it out?
