As a very inexperienced welder, I have a question to pose to the talent on the
lists.? I am welding a fitting for a trailer jack to a plate that I purchased
that will attached to the trailer.? I purchased a set of plates and hangers
from Northern Tools.? The kit is actually to attach springs to a trailer, but
the plate and U-bolts fit my needs perfectly.? The plate is listed as zinc on
the package, but has more of a cadmium appearance to it.? It is very smooth.?
Do I need to grind this coating (which is clearly not hot dipped zinc) off of
the plate before welding, or simply have at it and don't worry about the
coating.? I anticipate repainting the entire assembly with an epoxy paint after
welding.? I will be using a stick welder.? Thanks for the advice.
