PC boxes are most likely clad with galvanize material. Galvanizing requires
the base metal be coated with Zinc compounds which can and WILL contaminate
your weld, thus welds that look like bird droppings. The job of rod flux is
to carry away the contaminates in the weld puddle, but the flux core
Yes. Always grind off the galvanized area to clean metal before welding. If one
really wants a clean weld, the area to be welded should be free from dirt,
grease, paint and rust including the back side of the metal. Some people go as
far as to wipe clean with denatured alcohol.
