 * No joy for shippers weld or shipper's weld or shippers' weld. DCDuring TALK 22:21, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Dunno if that helps, but I know that the practice exists, so it's not totally unlikely to have a name. Korn &#91;kʰũːɘ̃n&#93; (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The closest I could come was in searching for temporary weld/welding:
 * With the welding texts and references that are in Google Books, I'd have thought it would appear in a glossary if it were in actual use. But it does seem close to SoP, so maybe a glossary entry is unnecessary for welders to interpret the term in context. I did see some engineering contract boilerplate that discourages or prohibits use of temporary welds. Why would the owner of a truck, a railroad car, or a ship want to risk having a welder weaken or at least damage their equipment? Maybe its a practice that isn't supposed to happen.

 * No luck with rigger weld/rigger's weld/riggers' weld either. DCDuring TALK 18:09, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe it just isn't. We don't find it anywhere and it's an anon's only contribution. --Hekaheka (talk) 07:24, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The phenomenon exists, but we haven't find its name, if indeed it has one. Let's give it its month. DCDuring TALK 16:34, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, we tried! RFV failed. Equinox ◑ 09:30, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
 * And deleted accordingly. The definition was "A temporary weld that shippers use to keep equipment secure during shipping." - -sche (discuss) 17:33, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
