[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 332950, member: 6937"] It's better to run a little hot than too cold when welding, to guarantee you're getting penetration with the welds, and not cold-lap. Looks like it's coming together. It will be a nice trailer when it's done. Since you're dealing with plain steel, I would highly recommend a treatment of Ospho when you get it done, particularly in the areas of the welds, as this is where it will begin rusting first. Not sure if you're going to paint, or cold-galv the trailer, but regardless, you should cold galvanize the areas of the welds, as some added protection. [/QUOTE]
