Tuesday welding question

[Slander]

Hey I'm getting ready to stitch weld some plate to my frame for a repair, what should I use to seal the seam between the plate and the frame?

Seam sealer sounds like a good idea.

Found at body/paint supply places.

Weld through primer first… no point in trapping moisture in bare metal.

But honestly, given the state of your frame, I wouldn’t worry about sealing it

Yea good point. This is really to get me through this wheeling season then im cutting the back frame rails off and replacing.

Dump a quart or two of used oil in each frame rail when youre done then go roll your truck over to make sure it coats evenly.
