Stronger Welds Start with Better Protection: SEM 40773 Zincweld

Protect What You Can’t Reach After Welding

Corrosion often begins in the hidden areas between welded metal panels—places that become difficult to protect once a repair is complete. SEM 40773 Zincweld Weld-Through Primer is designed specifically for this challenge. Its zinc-based formula provides corrosion protection between welded substrates while helping reduce heat-affected areas and weld spatter.

This 16 oz aerosol weld-through primer is intended for bare metal and offers enhanced adhesion without flaking or peeling. It is also compatible with MIG and STRSW welding, making it a practical choice for collision repair, panel replacement, restoration work, and professional auto body applications.

How to Apply SEM 40773 Zincweld

Good preparation is essential. Clean the repair area, sand it with P80 grit until the surface is bare metal, remove the sanding dust, and clean the surface again. Shake the aerosol vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. SEM recommends applying two medium-wet coats to both mating surfaces, allowing approximately 3–5 minutes between coats and about 20 minutes before welding.

For MIG plug welding, SEM instructs users to remove or scratch the primer from the plug-weld areas for maximum performance. Excess weld-through primer should also be removed before applying filler, conventional primer, or paint.
