When using MIG for welding thin sheetmetal sections on the 914, use a chill plate behind the weld.
For example, when welding in a patch in the fender, place a copper surface behind the cut line where you are trying to weld. The weld won't stick to the copper, the chill plate quickly freezes the metal and limits the weld burn through. I use a hunk of copper pipe on a dowel. Pound one end flat to act as the chil plate and hold the flat section directly behind where you want to weld. Works great, reduces burn through. Ken |
