I am getting very frustrated by the fact that I cant get this done.......I took a course of welding in school ,practiced before trying to patch a quater panel, now I cant seem to do nothing right. I am getting alot of burn through when I try to weld along the seams of the patch panel and quater panel meet, But when I weld a half inch down from the seams I get a nice bead ...the only problem is I then have a half inch border (overlap) sticking up not touching anything. do I get my cuttter and trim this border off , or do I need to find out how to get a better weld closer to the edges of each panel. For the record I'm using a craftsman welder 110v with ABC heat settings...... 75 argon 25 Co2 gas 0.023 wire. somebody please give some tips . How much gas should I let flow through ? :uh:
I know I can do this , but I am slowly leaning towards hiring some one to come in and do it for me, which is gonna be a waste of money , simplybecause I purchased this damn welder.
