Learning to weld

[cdrod]

welding sheetmetal with flux-core is is a futile effort; you’ll never get a clean weld. Do yourself a big favor, get a tank of CO2/Argon mix and some good welding wire (not flux-core) You’ll find it’s much easier. Also, when welding sheetmetal, you can’t lay a bead weld without burning thru the metal or warping the panel. The best method is a series of quick tack welds spaced a few inches apart, then cool the metal at add some more tacks in between the first. Repeat as needed until you’ve connected all the dots.
