I can weld, just that i don't have access to a welder away from work. If i get some guards maybe you could cut them out if you still got your template.

greenmac80 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 ever arc welded?? its kinda like both mixed together. it arcs to start the welding using fluxcore wire. with the wire i have and the welder you have to do tack welds real short bursts otherwise it blows holes which you then have to fill in with more welding.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 with the wire i have and the welder you have to do tack welds real short bursts otherwise it blows holes Yep, it is an absolute prick to weld metal this thin with a mig, most migs don't have enough adjustment on them to start with, you either don't get enough penetration, or blow holes :y: You are doing well under the circumstance. I am lucky my old man has an oxy, so i spot it in for him, and drag him over to finish weld it with the oxy :S Nice to see proper repairs, most people either fibreglass or bog the rust up :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
