Re: Proper way to spot weld with a MIG welder

you will see a difference not using gas over using it. same as when ur welding and the gas goes out you will get holes in ur weld, lil pin holes u will get when u grind. the gas acts as a shelid around ur weld keeping it clean and smooth. if that makes sense

don't use flux core on sheetmetal, use solid core. go to this site metalmeet.com and search around. any local welding supply or shop will tell you the same thing. google spot welding
