that Bob guy will try to weld anything, as cold as it is this Christmas weekend, , I think we can weld water together.....Bravo Bob...cheers from Orlando, where it is 30 degrees tonight....cheers, Paul 'Paulie' Brown
I'm not convinced that 4043 stick isn't a big joke that lincoln electric started playing on the entire welding industry 100 yrs ago.
I haven't tried this process yet. Need to give it a try one of these days.
If the workpiece isn't kept hot enough, the flux solidifies over the weld pool, killing the ark, stone dead. To have any success with this type of rod, i've had to keep the blowtorch flame playing on the workpiece while welding i.e. holding the blowtorch in my left hand and the electrode holder in my right.
Peter Zila has a great video on stick welding 4043 but he uses pulse on an HTP Rig to reduce the heat buildup and rod consumption. It was a pretty impressive video.
Know it well. Great vid tutorial.
Check your outlet if your running 110 ol timer 😉 needs a 20-30amp outlet but I’m glad to see you stepping up in the game
That is a battery powered welder bub.
Where's Bob? There's Bob! Glad I just found this channel!
with that beautiful pink light, you have a nice glow Bob.....they could make a movie and call it 'Pretty in Pink', oh wait, they already made that back in the 1980's....
I can do mig aluminum pretty good but the thing gives me nightmares I need a whole lot of practice but you did real good right there though
My question does it work on just certain aluminum alloys, or the majority of them?
💪💪💪
We didn't get to see the pictures very well😊
One process you should try is 1N12 inconel SMAW 1/8 on some inconel 625 in the 2G position. 3/4" plate. The root specifically the top bead will wanna fight ya.
I remember when we welded alu stick at the college ….
There is not mich fun to be had with these rods …. I got lucky a few times with them and even luckier because the camera was running😂😂😂
hey Zila, those rods are great for working on motorcycle engines, while in the frame and not broken. down.....cheers, hope you are doing great.....Paulie B from you know where....
@@ypaulbrown from where it is a lot warmer than here … -10F in wisconsin ….
I have used aluminum stick rods before successfully … when i was with bob on kansas we had a hell of a time to make it work …. Must be something in the air there 😂
@@ZILAwelds , Peter, I have used aluminum 4043 stick with success. but you really have to protect them from atmospheric moisture, the flux literally melts off here in Florida....by the way, the here is weldcom, but I am in Orlando......cheers, and stay warm...going to be 30 here, already 39, which for us thin blooded ol timers, is very cold., I had 3 squirrels tonight on the hood of th
e truck warming their nuts.....no kidding....Paul 'Paulie' Btrown
@@ypaulbrown here it was so cold i saw a socialist with his hands in his own pockets !!! No kidden
@@ZILAwelds laughing my keister off......I needed that good laugh.....thanks
Awesome!! Bob where do we get some "Lets Weld Something" stickers?
I purchased some Blue Demon Rods and got a couple for free with my shipment.

Bob.
I tried that back in 1980 in an open pit mine in Arizona. The flux is like watching milk paste boil. It was full of porosity….
I’m sure the science has come light years since then… but that’s why I got a portable mig rig. .
I’d like to see a cut and etch after you get done… just to see if and how they keep the bullet holes out of it.
I know a guy who built an aluminium fishing boat with stick. He was one old school old timer that guy.
@@WilliamPayneNZ
He drowned….right???😕
@@williamhague2768 no he got years of use out of that thing. Had an LS1 in it. Was a nice boat. He may still have it.
@@WilliamPayneNZ all my experience with aluminum stick electrodes was negative. I’ll be interested to see if Blue Demon has found a way to make it work. I would have liked the opportunity to see the setup and method the boat builder used.
@@williamhague2768 Ill try and find out but it would have been a basic welder and the rods most likely were not blue demon.
Seems like that Fronius machine ain't all that great. Should be using a Primeweld. ;)
I'd absolutely love to see Bob giving a Primeweld machine a try.
@@stardestroyerism I would like to see Bob try an HTP....
How to buy aluminium electrodes online
I think a saw the Zila guy do it but with pulse and it came out good 👍
Yes that guy was cheating😂
@@ZILAwelds pro pulse tings
@@ZILAwelds It isn't cheating if it works....😂
Looks like BOB has been hitting the bottle , sad to see.
Sad for you to say. I can assure you BOB has not been hitting the bottle.
So you watch a video about welding and infer with zero evidence that the person in the video is an alcoholic.... Dude seriously what is wrong with you? Did you have a bad day? Are you going thru marital issues? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Do you even know Bob, on a personal level, that would enable you to make such assertions? All your post did was make you look petty and immature. If you truly cared about Bob and you knew he was having issues; why would you post that shit in an open air fashion on RUclips?
