80/20 is anodized (usually clear) if you don't remove the coating it won't weld properly. It actually makes a god-awful sound when some one tries to burn through the coating rather than grind it off. It's not intended for welding and I don't recomend doing so for most uses.
Also I cant recomend using extrusion enough. Even though we can make 1/16th welded box frames we still use it for many things when its the right part for the job.
