The story+
A welder in a blue work jacket and dropped hood lays a glowing bead across a steel beam while a little craft glue gun hangs on his toolbox, and the shirt says I BASICALLY HOT GLUE METAL. This funny welder shirt is for the welder at the shop, the jobsite or the cookout who shrugs when someone asks what he does.
The print is a 1950s safety-poster scene: a welder in a blue jacket, orange hood and leather gloves kneeling on a steel I-beam, sparks fanning out from the weld, a small glue gun hanging off the handle of a steel toolbox beside him. I BASICALLY runs across the top in tall condensed capitals and HOT GLUE METAL. across the bottom in orange slab letters.
Wear it to the shop, the Friday cookout or any family dinner where someone asks about the job, or hand it to the welder or fabricator in your life. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- What is the I Basically Hot Glue Metal tee?
- It is a men's graphic tee from Graphic Tees Co. showing a vintage welder laying a bead on a steel beam, lettered I BASICALLY HOT GLUE METAL. It is printed on a Bella+Canvas 3001 in 4.2 oz cotton, so it stays light and cool for a hot shop or a cookout.
- How does the unisex tee fit?
- This Graphic Tees Co. tee is a true unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL with a crew neck and side-seamed body. Order your usual size for a classic fit or size up one for a looser look. If the size is off, the first exchange is free.
- Is it flame resistant, and how do I wash it?
- No. It is a 100% combed cotton tee at 4.2 oz, with some polyester in the heather colors, so it is casual wear and not welding gear or protective clothing. Wash it inside out in cold water and tumble dry low to keep the orange and navy inks crisp.
- Is it a good gift for a welder?
- Yes. It suits the welder, fabricator or shop teammate with a dry sense of humor, and it is an easy gift from a spouse or kids. It comes from Graphic Tees Co. at $24.99 in eight colors, sizes S through 4XL, and the free size exchange makes it safe as a birthday or Christmas gift.
- Can I get it by Christmas?
- Order by about December 8 and your Graphic Tees Co. welder tee should arrive before Christmas. Each shirt is printed the day you order it, so ship times vary a little by location. Orders over $45 ship free, and the free size exchange covers a wrong guess.
- How do I wash this graphic tee?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
