1G Clean up welded aluminum

I know I can sand and polish aluminum. Is that the easiest way to clean up the welds?

Yep. Depending on the finish you want you could just use some aluminum polishing compound on that and it'll shine right up. If you want the weld smoothed down, sand then polish.

Ok. I have to shorten it also, so we’ll see how far I want to go with it. Thanks, Henry!

I sprayed some clear coat on my tubing, shined it right up and removed a few minor scratches. I guess polish will do the same too.

This is what I've done with my 2g FMIC, needs another sanding another coating, but it looks amazing. Ever-wet type look.

That’s not a bad idea.
