This one was suggested to me. Have a few reweld projects in my future and trying to plan ahead.....of course I need to buy a TIG welder first . Primeweld 225 or CT520DP are on my short list

Years ago there was a thread on a welding forum discussing this. I kind of remember Tartan being brought up, but no one had first hand experience. It was always someone else that told them.

I do remember someone saying that they used mild steel filler and it was visible with hot bluing, but cold blue covered it.

Add me to the list of repeating what I read.

This was welded with a Tartan G filler rod per the owner at the arrows, and hot blued....gotta say that looks really damn good compared to ER70S. No post weld heat treatments/annealing was done.
