Sheetmetal Work
I am attempting to do some sheetmetal
repair..specifically welding in patches of new metal to replaced rusted out sections. So, I just bought a Lincoln Electric Model 135 wire fed MIG welder. I got some 18 guage sheetmetal to practice with. I'm using setting B-2 which is what the unit calls for given 18 guage material. I'm using .035 flux cored wire, no gas. Well, I am continually burning through the work. The welds look spotty with burn through holes about every inch or so. Is there some trick to this or maybe I just need more practice. I seem to have better luck with 16 guage sheetmetal. Any advice/references/hints is appreciated! Jim Mt Juliet
