Weld-Through Primer Shootout Upol - DupliColor - Steel-it - Seymour

I was in the market for some Weld-Through Primer but I couldn't make up my mind, so I decided to buy a few of them and test them out for myself. I compare the weldability, the spray characteristics and which ones handled the heat the best.

[@lancemelchert2016]

Could you try it again with thinner metal and less voltage? I feel like the voltage was so high that the discrepancies between the brands aren’t apparent enough and it just burns right through

Great video! Lots of good information and tips! Thanks Edgar

I've been wondering about Steel-It ever since JK Gear and Gadgets recommended it. I'm glad you did a round up with some comparable results. Looking forward to your next video.

[@sikolikhole]

Its up check it out not what I wanted to see, but my pick changed.

[@rossmalonek3764]

Great video. Well thought out and no BS. Thanks.

Thanks for watching Ross

I've been using the Upol Copper weld for a while, it can handle the heat the best. I also have used Steel-It, but I didn't know until later on that I was able to weld through it. Thanks for the comparison video.

Thank you for watching!

[@andykeatley4967]

Great video, real good test to see that. Nice welding too bro 👍

[@cisnerofam08]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@hans747]

Thanks for making this video. It's a huge help to me. Also, POR15 makes a weld-thru primer. So maybe consider that for a future video.

[@cisnerofam08]

Thank you for watching!!

[@pedrokim7435]

Excellent test!
So sad is not available,, I call Duplicolor and is discontinued

[@charlesseara8502]

Great video man

[@cisnerofam08]

Thank you for watching!

Very helpful, Thank you.

[@drewt3210]

How about Epodur 1890 Weld-Thru Primer? Also 3M 05917, Eastwood, POR 15 and SEM Products 39783. Thank you for doing these test videos!

Awesome vid

[@Modifiedstreetcom]

Nice video! Thank you!

[@cisnerofam08]

Thank you for watching!

[@Creations-hj2kq]

I heard others say the same thing, steel-IT and Upol or ZincWeld spray , they use it on 23rd Garage

[@seanlittle9903]

Is their any situation where the Duplicolor would be acceptable? Like in larger quantities where its more cost effective? Or does Steel-It win out even there?

[@cisnerofam08]

For me and the amount/quantity that I use it would definitely still be Steel-it however if I had to use large quantities of it, production style, I would use the Duplicolor or cheaper version and just deal with welding over it.

[@MoparMike1974]

You should try IES inter-weld copper. I stumbled on it and have been using it ever since. Comparable to the U-Pol.

[@cisnerofam08]

Sounds like it would make a great addition to the test, thank you for watching!

[@gregwillodson784]

I've been using Eastwood, but the nozzle clogs almost immediately. Super frustrating...

[@cisnerofam08]

I think that's the most frustrating part of it all.

[@MrRquiroz]

Great video i wonder how the 3M cans hold up

[@cisnerofam08]

I just ordered some off Amazon! Stay tuned.

[@kshepthedrummer]

Great comparisons. I was looking to see if there were any cheaper alternatives comparable to steel it. Looks like I'll be sticking with steel it and apologizing to my wallet lol

[@michaelnelson9140]

I still am not sure of the burn through factor? I do thin sheetmetal. As in automotive rust repair and customizing. When boxing in a panel, say a rocker panel, I don’t always weld completely. A lot of it is spot welding or tacks.it is important that the covered areas not rust out again. So, this video has not convinced me that the spots where I would put a weld will not rerun t again. Could you do a video, geared more toward auto body style welding? Would love to see the results.

[@FiveFourRacing]

Seymour makes a stainless steel paint that I suspect is steel it with a different label

[@JiroProject]

for the upol, would the zinc be better or the copper?

[@cisnerofam08]

Copper

[@JiroProject]

@@cisnerofam08 found the results video. and yes i think im going with the dupli color one, but their all discontinued everywhere online. so where did you buy yours from?

[@michaelnelson9140]

Ok, good video. I like the results. However! For me, and a lot of people like me, who are welding thin sheetmetal .

[@oldschoolcars3318]

Why not use cavity wax as well?

[@cisnerofam08]

I'm going to be honest I didn't even know about this product, its definitely one to add to the list! Thanks for watching.

[@tthams73]

Leave those welds outside and see which ones hold up the best

[@cisnerofam08]

Luckily I did do that here's the results ua-cam.com/video/GvZhalEfnS4/v-deo.html

[@cody2097]

Youre not supposed to weld through weld-thru primer! Lol

[@cisnerofam08]

It's worst case scenario
