[Shop-talk] Welding Questions

[Marc]

Good morning!

I am not a very experienced welder, have had my rig for just a a couple 
years. Very handy to have in the shop! I'm about to do a little body 
work, need to make a few small patches and weld them in.

My buddy works for an HVAC mechanical contractor, and brought me a nice 
assortment of scrap pieces in various gauges. Only problem is I think 
all that metal is galvanized.

All the info I have read indicates welding on galvanized metal = NOT 
GOOD (metal fume fever).  So, what's the story on this? Or, where can 
you get small pieces (12" x 12") of sheet metal that is suitable to work 
with?
