No. We do not ship free samples or sell single welding rods.

Please open the end with the yellow sticker with red lettering that reads “open this end for flux.”

We place each flux in a bubble wrap envelope and secure it tightly so it will not move during shipment.

Muggy Weld sells rods to DIY. We do not make weld parts for customers.

Grinding wheels or sanding disks for the arc rods. Sanding disks, Dremel tool, sand paper, light grinding wheels etc for the brazing and soldering rods. If working on pot metal or white metal it doesn’t take much to gouge the parent metal so sanding disks or lighter tools are recommended.

Super Alloy 1 works well with propane or MAPP gas. Oxyacetylene can be used but turn the oxygen down to avoid overheating the rod. Super Alloy 5 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas. SSF-6 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas. SSQ-6 works well with oxyacetylene, propane, and MAPP gas.

Note: Always use oxyacetylene on large masses of aluminum, thick aluminum, or cast aluminum.

20 Oxygen, 5 Acetylene is good for brazing or soldering.

Please be aware, Muggy Weld employees do not personally deliver your packages.  We, like our customers, have no access to UPS or USPS internal information.  Please direct all inquiries to UPS.com or USPS.com directly once the package can be tracked online.

We aim to ship all orders within 72 hours of order placement, however, we do occasionally experience delays.  UPS ground and USPS Priority orders are not guaranteed to ship the same day, expedited orders placed by 12 pm PST are guaranteed to ship the same day.

Please allow up to 10 business days for your package to arrive. UPS and USPS shipments are estimated 2-6 business days, depending on the priority level, but not guaranteed. If you need your delivery guaranteed sooner than 10 business days, please choose USPS Express Priority, UPS Next Day Air or 2nd day air as your shipping option.

Note: Muggy Weld is not financially responsible for delays caused by UPS or USPS–delays do happen, especially during the holiday season, and we cannot reship or refund orders due to shipping delays (we will refund UPS shipping costs if shipping is refunded by UPS). Please contact USPS or UPS directly with complaints about their service.

Please use your tracking number to track your package at UPS.com or USPS.com. While both companies estimate standard delivery times, they are not guaranteed times.

We can as long as the address we’re shipping to is on file with your credit card company on file.

Yes. Call 866-684-4993 to place your order

Due to high shipping and brokerage fees, International shipments are not eligible for refund/return (this includes packages in which the buyer refuses to pay the import duties/taxes and/or brokerage fees)  UPS charges between $100-$300 return shipping, so if you refuse your package for any reason, it will be treated as abandoned at your country’s customs office, and will not be eligible for refund.

We absolutely do not offer shipping refunds due to UPS or USPS shipping delays.  If you require a guaranteed delivery date, please pay for UPS guaranteed service (I believe the only guarantee at this point is next day air)

We ship to every country on Earth.

To order:

Please choose the quantity and diameter of the product you wish to purchase and then add to cart.  Most orders can be processed through our direct payment processor Authorize.net, however, if your credit card is declined, please choose wire transfer at checkout and proceed with your order.  There is a $25 fee associated with wire transfers, which covers our bank fees.

Update:  we recently added DHL as a low-cost international shipping option.

The shipping prices you see are determined directly by USPS and UPS.   We input the weight and the size of the package to the our website and after you enter your address, this information is electronically sent to UPS or USPS, who generate your shipping costs.

If you choose UPS and wish to avoid brokerage fees, contact them with your tracking number and ask them whether delivery through the free trade zone is a reasonable option for you.

What you can expect:

1.  Place order
2.  We receive order
3.  We ship order within 48 hours
4.  You receive tracking information via the email you provided at time of purchase
5.  Your order is flown to your country
6.  Your order is processed by your customs department
7.  Your item is delivered to the address you provided at time of purchase

We will only ship using UPS, USPS, or DHL. We will not use your TNT account, or any other discount shipper.   Yes, UPS really does charge that much.

Note:  If you order internationally and choose USPS as your shipping method, it may take a month to arrive. USPS is dependent on your country’s postal system once it arrives in your country. If you’re Canada you may receive it reasonably quickly because Canada Post is pretty reliable (except when they go on strike. If your country’s postal service is on strike, USPS can’t get the package to you until the strike is over). If you are in the Philippines, it may not show up at all because your infrastructure is lacking. UPS has their own infrastructure, we recommend UPS for international shipments unless your country’s infrastructure is well-developed.

Yes, Super Alloy 1 plates beautifully.

Yes

No, just turn the oxygen way down and use a carbeurizing flame or long feather.

After welding, warm water and a wire brush will remove any remaining flux.

Yes

No. It can be used, however it is messy. You don’t need to heat the rod to apply the flux, as it is already in a liquid state. When you apply the flux to the metal it will be pasty, then turn powdery, then turn back into a liquid. Its performance or strength is not affected whatsoever.

The base metal is too cold, you need to back the rod up and heat the base metal in a broad fashion. Large masses of aluminum dissipate heat quickly. Always use oxyacetylene on large masses of aluminum, thick aluminum, or cast aluminum.

SSQ-6 can be used in areas the SSF-6 cannot reach, such as male – female joints.

SSQ-6, being in paste form, is great for sandwiching between to metals or when the solder needs to be hidden for aesthetic purposes.

SSQ-6 can be applied in micro situations as well as delicate metal works.

We can special order up to 4 ounces per syringe with a 2 week lead time.

You can use a Dremel tool, steel wool, a sander, or a wire wheel.

On thin metal or small parts, propane or MAPP Gas works fine. Use an oxy-acetylene with heavy gauge metals.

To avoid weld failure, all existing welding alloys must be removed prior to applying 72 or 77 electrodes.

You need to turn down the amperage.

You need to turn up the amperage.

Find a welding shop in your area and ask if they can repair cast iron. If not, ask them if they will weld it if you bring in the electrode. Most welders will say yes & end up buying the rest of your rods once they try our 72 & 77.

As long as you can get to the weld area and have room to work, 77 works well in all positions.

Super Alloy 5 is manufactured for use in all positions, including overhead.  Super Alloy 1 *can* be successful overhead, by brushing the flux into place and applying the solder in a “rubbing” technique once the base aluminum has reached the proper working temperature.

Super Alloy 5 is best for salt water applications.

Yes, always make sure the powder coating is applied at 400°F when coating Super Alloy 1

If the tubing is 3/4 inch thick, use Super Alloy 5 3/32 and an oxyacetylene torch with very little oxygen and slowly add more oxygen if needed. For aluminum tubing thinner than 3/4 inch, use MAPP gas or propane with a push button start tip–with either Super Alloy 5 or Super Alloy 1

Pot metal is generally heavier than aluminum. If the part is light it is most likely aluminum.

Yes, Super Alloy 1 works best on bare pot metal.

The part will usually be as strong or stronger than the original part.

Yes, tell the plater to use a slow charge when applying the first acid copper plate

Take the pot metal to a plating shop and ask them to remove the chrome plating

Most pot metal structures melt around 750°F

Absolutely. See our video page for a demonstration.
