I FLY Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 My Lynskey frame has cracked and the Lynskey agent is battling to find someone in Johannesburg who knows how to weld titaniumI am the 2nd owner so no warranty.
Christie Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Ti is difficult to weld correctly. Why is the agent involved? If it is a warranty, rather get a new frame.
ChUkKy Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Ti is difficult to weld correctly. Why is the agent involved? If it is a warranty, rather get a new frame. Because if you read the OP properly he clearly states he is the 2nd owner. Just saying
Clayton B Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 If you don't come right we are in durbs and can do it.
Underachiever Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 A bit of a highjack. I also own a Lynskey (2nd owner too) and the frame has some scratches that I would like to get brushed out. Any recommendations? Thx!!

V12man Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Ti is difficult to weld correctly. Why is the agent involved? If it is a warranty, rather get a new frame.Ti is NOT difficult to weld if you are a competent tig welder - no more difficult than aluminum to tig providing you have the correct equipment and shielding gas, and a way to shield it properly.

Any recommendations? Thx!!If you can find the original grit it was done with, it's easy to do - just find cloth backed sandpaper strips and do it yourself - hint - cut up a beltsander belt of the right grit..... and go gently.

No idea how to find the correct grit.
