That would explain why the welder I have used for aluminum work mentioned that he uses his friends powder coating oven. I never put the two together although I have never had a failure of his welds. Which is why I go to him.

Uh oh (cracked Aluminess)
That’s the welded base of my Baja box swing arm.
If you call that welding.

That looks more like a bad application of JB Weld, or looks something like I welded. Was that new from Aluminess?

Nope. It’s a repair from previous owner. There is a 5 gallon meth injection tank in the box and a 5 gallon diesel Jerry can as well. I’ll be receiving the new swing arm in a week and getting the updated spare tire carrier as well. Didn’t mean to hijack this thread also.....

Sorry I just gotta laugh. I really doubt that Aluminess would allow that even on their worst day.

Yeah, that can't be a weld that would leave aluminess.

Clearly meth and welding don't go together.

Yeah that happened to mine (although not in the exact same spot). The tire I was carrying was too wide for the carrier and putting pressure on it. Aluminess totally fixed it and modified it for a wider tire for free. I just paid shipping. They were way cool about it.
