Cat Semula Grille Yang Telah Berkarat
Saya mula pasang grille belakang rumah pada April 2013. Selepas 11 tahun, cat grille nampak lusuh dan berkarat.
Untuk memastikan karat sampai rosakkan grille saya cat semula grille dengan menggunakan Nippon Paint pada 18 Mei 2024.
Harga cat Nippon Paint 1 liter ialah RM48.
Saya pilih Nippon Paint kerana cat yang pekat jadi bila sapu agak mudah dan cepat untuk mengecat kesemua grille.
Pada bulan Mei saya banyak mengecat besi-besi yang dah berkarat untuk memastikan besi-besi ini boleh dipakai lagi lama.
Contoh seperti mengecat semula pagar rumah.



Welding Experimentation On Rusty Iron, Painted Iron & Naked Iron
I tried few irons to know whether I can weld it using electric welding machine.
I tried on rusty iron, painted iron and naked iron.
Please look at the video below to see the results.
Rusty Iron
I can’t weld on rusty iron because the electricity cannot circulate due to the rust. You have to remove the rust in order the welding rod can touch the iron.
Painted Iron
Same goes for painted iron, I can’t weld it. So you have to remove first the paint where you want to do the welding.
Naked Iron
It works without problem.
