General directions for use on cast iron repair:

For best results use a sparing amount of acetone on a rag and wipe the rod prior to use. If thickness permits, you can “V” out the crack to expose the clean metal. Some TIG welders like to make a quick pass or 2 over the crack to give it a little preheat but also to burn out any grease or oil. Make a puddle with the tip and add filler by a dipping the wire in the puddle. When you complete the weld always leave the weld with a deposit of filler. If the process is not successful, use a magnet to verify that the casting is iron.
