Re: [Chrysler300] Sheet metal fabrication question - H trunk floor

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be careful with 'weld thru primers' aka cold galvanizing compound, 
which contain zinc. When trying to weld an already galvanized surface, you 
will be breathing the burning zinc compound, which is bad for your lungs. I 
learned the hard way when I first started welding about 15 years ago. You 
will cough for days. I also found that the welds made thru the compound 
tended to be inferior in quality, since you are introducing an additional 
metal into the mix.

I would recommend spraying the galvanizing compound into the sealed section 
after welding is completed, possibly by drilling a small hole. 
Alternatively, you could pour some POR-15 or Bill Hirsh Miracle Paint into 
the hole.
