Welding through dykem?

Apr 10, 2012 3 Replies

Any thoughts on welding through dykem markings? This is stick welding with



7014, mild steel, and a fillet weld (the flat piece is coated with dykem so I can see the alignment mark for the square tubing).

I *could* use some solvent to wipe it off after I have the pieces clamped together, but I'd just as soon rather not if I can avoid it.

Thanks Gunner, I was hoping that was the case.

Stick won't care about Dykem.

TIG would care, but MIG and stick don't.

Thanks Ernie, that is good to know.
