Doug,DON'T attempt to weld Titanium with an oxyacetylene rig UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.When Ti is ignited, it burns with a white flame, way above 2500 degrees, and canignite anything in it's vicinity. If it's to be welded it MUST be done in aninert atmosphere, as with Mig or Tig.My .02.--------Tom KreinerRead this topic online here:

I used clear VHT paint on the exhust, but it wouldn't fit in the oven so Inever got the full effect of it. It lasted well for about 4 years but isbeginning to rust now. I thought about pulling the exhaust and beadblastingit and then repainting but being the lazy sort, I just sorta ignored it.Jack PhillipsNX899JPRaleigh, NC _____
