Epoxy primer newbie. Might be a “duhhhh” question but figure it’s worth asking.
Building a 64 Nova all purpose (drag/autoX/street) monster. The front subframe on these cars is super thin (18 gauge!!!). Going to add some metal in certain areas around the subframe to stiffen things up (think two C-channels on top of each other ) before adding subframe connectors /etc/etc… Can I use epoxy in areas where I’d normally use weld thru primer? I’m definitely going to clean up the weld areas to bare metal but there will be a lot of overlapping metal on metal.
How will epoxy hold up close to weld areas? Can it withstand the heat created by welding?
I won’t be able to just weld and flood with epoxy as welding will almost seal certain areas.
Thank you!
