I've seen adds where they say they can fix/weld magnesium, how do they weld on magnesium? won't it ignite!
I know it can be welded, When you hear about a mag fire it was in chip form, like after machining or grinding.
down in the sand dunes people put a whole VW block on a fire and when it ignites it will light up a whole valley like its day time
Check out this thread, it can be done well and safely : http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184445 Use the search function, it is even faster then waiting for someone to do it for you.

I had some unsuccessful tries on some wheels I had a while back. After talking to several people about it, I was told the wheels needs to be pre-heated, and welded in a vacuum chamber similar to a sandblast cabinet where you stick your hands in the gloves to weld it. AND, it needs to return to room temp very slowly. That's what I heard
Nothing will ignite if there's no oxygen. Keep the oxygen away, and you could weld magnesium all day.
