Have you tested out the new technique on warming and cooling the metal ? I think I will short cut and just order the 4 inch disk . I have a few spots I would like to test it on . If I can get half the results these other guys get I would be happy .

Yeah, Bobby, I adapted the disc over to my angle grinder which spins way faster. I ran it on high spots & doused it with a wet rag. It does work. I haven't been able to make it perfect but the skim coat will definitely be way thinner than before!

Last week I treated the back side of the inner support with Rust Bullet, because I had some. I'm coating both the inside of the skin & support before I spot weld them back together then I'll shoot the whole thing with epoxy primer. Maybe I can get to it this weekend.

Randy something the size of the area would take a skilled guy with the disc and most likely a torch a while . I am glad to hear there was results though . When we see them work the steel they are only doing small areas also .

I have about the same size about 6 inch diameter at the largest .

I am working 12 hour days right now weird schedule 2 off - 3 on - 5 off - 4 on , I am walking with a tilt .
