Looking under to see the caster defines what I am about. Yes, I am that kind of dude.

Any time!

Why not leave the foil on to paint and then remove and oil ?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

You def could. The reason I dont is BC the cheap foil I use doesnt hug the caster as tight as the saran wrap does. The foil tends to tear if I wrap too tight. If you have a good quality foil It could do double duty.

Excellent great information. What is your opinion between miller 215 and Hobart ironman 230 looking to upgrade

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Hey Joe, Im glad you saw this one. I remember you asking about this. As far as welders, I own three millers and have nothing bad to say about them. If I remember correctly hobart is owned by miller. Both would prob be good machines but I tend to default to blue....

[@fizbakar4692]

Is this an aluminum caster? Can you actually weld them to mild steel using just fluxcore wire?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

No, its not aluminum. Its steel

[@BoxcarsGarage]

I'll use that foil and plastic wrap idea thanks

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Would the heat damage the caster ??

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

No, just do short stitch welds and let it cool. No need to pour the heat to it.
