Rusty Welds
Posted: Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:23 pm
Hi
I'm rebuilding an 80s BMW and repairing some rust spots. After I finish welding in the patches, I hit it with 1-2 coats of epoxy primer. But now after sitting a few months, I'm noticing little bubbles where the welds are. I ground off the epoxy to find rust is forming on the fresh welds. Has anyone experienced this before? Are there any measures I can take to prevent this?
Thanks
