Hey Clank, don't use dust off in a can to cool anything around open flame. It's extremely flammable. Lol! Glad your well enough to report. there was no open flame. Just red hot steel, but apparently it was hot enough to combust whatever was in the can. It's also a heavy gas like propane cause it filled the tank and ignited when a I struck an arc. That was the second ignition and I just chucked the can. The first time though I was just trying to cool the weld and it ignited like a gas bomb. It wasn't like hairspray or WE-41. It took a second for the gas vapors to accumulate to go off where a hairspray instantly lights. |

See through. Need some 1/4" round stock for the trim and gonna throw some LED's under the tank.   As many times as I've balanced the tank on the frame to see what it's looking like & then get distracted walk away, come back and watch it fall off (I've pounded five or so dents out of so far from this) I should call it wrecking ball not cannonball..  |

 Still got a little ways to go but I think I'm closer to the end than the beginning.  It started out ok, then it went to resembling my welding hood, then others started saying Ironman.  Now I'm thinking it's looking like one of those new Navy stealth destroyers.  Anyone got any  |

I'll be honest I've never heard of one till you mentioned it, so I googled it to see...  and I'll be damn it does have some similarities. That's a good thing cause you don't think it looks like Ironman. |
