Jon,
In my expert opinion...(I've been welding now for 3 or 4 weeks)...maybe they were welding with copper. I'm not TIG welding yet, but I've heard that copper is awesome with Stainless Steel. The only problem they tell me about is that once the car is run for a while the copper heats up and may melt. If that starts to happen, just turn the car off and carefully reform weld with your finger. After doing this 3 or 4 times it won't hurt anymore and you can do just about anything with that finger without pain. I don't get why. Am I a moron or what. I'm missing welding class this week. I hope I don't miss too much! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
