galvenised tube

ive been told you cant weld galvenised tube is that right if so ive ive got wrong tube for my roll cage oh dear all i could get before weekend help

You can use galvanised tube however

- make sure you grind the zinc coating off first. Failure to do so will result in poor welds and breathing problems caused by the toxic gasses given off by the welding process!!!!
