Thanks for the info! When you say you shouldnt be able to see the gap on the backside, should you be able to see the 2 pieces butted together or should the weld cover that as well (full penetration)?
With the slight overlap of 1/2 to 3/4's, are you saying that you put one spot down, then another on top of it before moving to a different place? I like that idea. Originally I was going to do that but was worried about warping. So, I decided I was going to just spot every 6 inches, then go around again and overlap the original spots one time. Then go around again, until they all connect. My biggest fear with this is that the weld would harden, and then the next time around I would just be piling it on the original spot instead of getting penetration.
If warpage shouldnt be a problem, I will do it your way. Cool beans.
Now here is another question. With my body cart, I wasnt too worried about how the welds looked. Do I need to actually dip this wire in the weld for sheetmetal, or should I let it burn off without touching? I think with a MIG it has to touch to get the ground, but I wasnt too sure.
