By Derek Odom. The first thing necessary for stick welding on aluminum is to have a machine capable of DC (direct current) polarity, and it must be capable of putting out at least 200 amps.

Here are my rules of thumb. 1  Rough up the metal, lots of nooks and crannies ensure the primer will stick. 2  Clean the surface with some type of alcohol after you're done sanding. 3  I always double coat the metal with primer because metal is prone to oxidization. 4  Single component paint works better on aluminium.
