Fiback Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape is an innovative substitute for traditional back purging methods that provides protection to the backside of the weld environment and ensures a high quality finish. Fiback is flexible, heat resistant, and halogen and fluorocarbon-free, enabling it to be a complete solution for plate, sheet and pipe welding needs.
This welding tape is composed of two adhesive areas around the outside edges with a center fiberglass strip, heat resistant up to 1,022°F (550°C)
Suitable for SMAW (stick), TIG, and MIG Welding processes, Fiback can conform to various shapes making it superior to more rigid solutions that develop stress points between pieces and are prone to cracking and breaking over time.
Fiback reduces set-up, clean up and weld time; eliminates post-weld grinding and back gouging and increases work efficiency while minimizing costs.
Light duty
Sufficient for thinner materials, such as aluminum, carbon steel, chrome steels, cast iron, nickel and cobalt alloys, copper nickel and many more
Often used in general fabrication shops and for manufacturing pressure vessels and aircraft components

Frequently Asked Questions
How to choose a welder?
When choosing a welder, consider the type of welding you'll be doing (MIG, TIG, or Stick), the materials you'll work with, and your skill level. Look for a machine with the right amperage range, portability, and safety features. Don’t forget to check reviews!
What equipment do welders use?
Welders use various equipment, including welding machines (MIG, TIG, and stick welders), protective gear (helmets, gloves, and aprons), gas cylinders, welding rods, and accessories like clamps and wire brushes. Proper tools ensure safety and quality in welding projects.
What is a duty cycle on a welder?
The duty cycle on a welder refers to the percentage of time it can operate within a specific period, typically 10 minutes, without overheating. For example, a 60% duty cycle means the welder can run for 6 minutes and must cool for 4 minutes.
What is a multiprocess welder?
A multiprocess welder is a versatile welding machine that can perform various welding techniques, such as MIG, TIG, and stick welding, all in one unit. This flexibility makes it ideal for different projects, allowing users to switch processes easily as needed.
What is amperage in welding?
Amperage in welding refers to the electric current flowing through the welding circuit, measured in amperes (amps). It determines the heat generated during the welding process, influencing penetration and bead shape. Proper amperage is crucial for achieving strong welds.
What is slag inclusion in welding?
Slag inclusion in welding refers to the presence of non-metallic solid materials, such as slag, trapped within the weld bead. This defect can weaken the weld's integrity, leading to reduced strength and potential failure. Proper technique and cleaning can help prevent it.
What is the difference between AC and DC welding?
AC (Alternating Current) welding is ideal for aluminium and magnesium, providing a smoother arc and better cleaning action. DC (Direct Current) welding offers a more stable arc and deeper penetration, making it suitable for steel and other ferrous metals.
What is welding equipment?
Welding equipment refers to the tools and machines used to join materials, typically metals, through the application of heat and pressure. This includes welding machines, electrodes, torches, protective gear, and accessories essential for safe and effective welding processes.
What kind of welder should I buy?
Choosing a welder depends on your needs. For beginners, a MIG welder is user-friendly and versatile. If you need portability, consider a TIG welder for precision work. For heavy-duty tasks, stick welders are robust. Assess your projects to make the best choice!
What to look for in a welding machine?
When choosing a welding machine, consider the type of welding (MIG, TIG, or MMA), power output, duty cycle, portability, and ease of use. Look for reliable safety features, warranty, and compatibility with your materials. Brand reputation and customer support are also key.
What type of welding is the most expensive?
The most expensive type of welding is typically laser welding. This method requires advanced technology and equipment, making it costlier than traditional techniques like MIG or TIG welding. Its precision and efficiency, however, can justify the higher investment.
Where can I buy welding supplies?
Reputable suppliers, such as Premier Welding provides a comprehensive selection of welding supplies, including consumables, accessories, and equipment suitable for all welding processes. High-quality welding supplies can significantly improve efficiency, safety, and weld quality. If you are struggling to find an item on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Where to buy a welder near me?
To buy a welder near you, check local welding supply stores, hardware shops, or specialised retailers. You can also explore online options like Premier Welding for a wide range of welders and accessories, often with delivery across the UK.
Where to buy welding equipment?
You can buy welding equipment from various sources in the UK, including specialist welding suppliers like Premier Welding, local hardware stores, and online retailers such as Amazon and eBay. Always compare prices and check reviews for quality assurance.
Which welding method is easier for beginners, MIG or TIG?
MIG welding is generally easier for beginners compared to TIG. It requires less skill to master, as it uses a continuous wire feed and is more forgiving with settings. TIG welding, while offering greater control and precision, demands more practice and technique.
