Wonderful work to watch Smile
I was wondering what is the red primer you use and is it a 'weld through'. kind of primer?
Keep up the great work

The Layout Table doesn’t lie.

Only 0.1 degree difference front to back.

It will stay pinned down like this while we weld the cap on , when we flip it over to do the pan halves we will pin it down again while welding them in.
