notice the bead of seam sealer that must come out so the sheet metal can fit to the floor pan tight.

the width of the chisel point using careful, short bursts will quickly break out the tar.

without removal of the seam sealer and tar the sheet metal panels will not fit properly.

put the weld in the hole and burn into the car's long. then back fill the holes and make good contact into the long sheetmetal. It takes practice. Use low voltage and fast wire speed. Attached image(s) |
