Just an FYI, flux welders cannot weld sheet metal. Burns too hot and will blow through.

QUOTE(Mike Bellis @ Sep 3 2018, 05:30 PM)  Just an FYI, flux welders cannot weld sheet metal. Burns too hot and will blow through. I agree, also the acid flux left behind in the weld will cause the paint to lift over time. Miller or Lincoln with “continuous adjustment “ is the way to go. |
