I don't know if this goes here, spotted, make light of or lighten the mood. Either way, 🤦♂️

A lot of people have told me that you can’t weld galvanized for two reasons: the fumes will make you sick, and the galvanized coating ****s with the weld.
I make sure I have positive ventilation, I push the weld, and I keep the arc from touching the galvanization and let the weld puddle flown into the galvanized metal. Beer also helps.
You also can’t really swirl or agitate the weld puddle. Pushing the weld uses the shielding gas to push the burning fumes away from the weld puddle. If the arc touches galvanization it will sputter and pop. Keeping the garage door cracked 8” with the torpedo heater going will create enough positive venting to draw the fumes away from the weld puddle (and me) just enough to not draw the shielding gas away too quickly.

Growing up I had a neighbor that was a fencing contractor. For many years had me welding all of his gate frames out of a 1.5" x 1.5" galvanized tubing. I'd use a flap wheel to knock down the surface coating and hold by breath. If I die young... let my wife know about the gate frames. She'll find someone to sue

I haven’t had much luck trying to grind it off. It would still weld like poo for me when I tried that.Drink Milk

If you flap it, you gotta flap it twice. Once with a dirty flap disc, and then again with a "clean" one. But I normally just burn it off with muriatic acid, if the part is small enough to immerse.
Or I just wait for a calm day and weld it outside.
