Mrs Esterhouse:
What do you recommend to clean tubing before welding. thank you.

rooman:
I usually scotchbrite all of my tubing after cleaning off any protective oil with brake clean/ acetone etc.

I know we're talking steel tubing here, but I think its worth mentioning to never use brake clean on aluminum you plan to weld.

dreracecar:
I dont even use it on steel parts

masracingtd1167:
I used to use it all the time till I read that story about a guy who got real sick from using it !Bad stuff !
While we are on the subject I also read once that you should not use copper coated wire for tig welding chrome moly . Any truth to it or is it just another BS story .
