OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Weld Prep and Cleaning

For professional welders and fabricators, cleanliness is next to godliness. Porosity, lack of fusion, and weak welds are often the result of contaminants on the base metal. The Walter FT 100 Surface Cleaner (53G181) is your pocket-sized solution to dirty metal. This 4 oz spray bottle packs a punch, delivering a powerful cleaning agent that cuts through cutting fluids, shop oils, and grime instantly. Designed to be a safer and more effective alternative to acetone, FT 100 is an essential consumable for any welding shop that values quality and consistency.

One of the standout features of the FT 100 is its residue-free evaporation. When preparing a joint for TIG welding, even microscopic traces of cleaning residue can contaminate the tungsten or the weld pool. Walter has formulated this product to evaporate quickly and completely, leaving absolutely nothing behind but bare metal. This makes it ideal not only for pre-weld cleaning but also for post-weld cleanup before inspection or painting. It works exceptionally well on stainless steel, where maintaining a pristine surface is crucial for corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

Beyond welding, this cleaner is a powerhouse for general shop maintenance. It can be used to clean layout ink, remove marker lines, and degrease tools. The compact 4 oz bottle is designed for convenience; it fits easily in a welding jacket pocket or a crowded toolbox, ensuring you always have a high-performance degreaser within arm's reach. Don't let dirty metal compromise your hard work. Upgrade your surface preparation process with Walter FT 100 from Welders Supply and experience the difference a truly clean surface makes to your finished product.
