me too, I'm just removing the "laced" areas where rust lived. since theres no rust I'm left with "laced" metal. i have most of the panels even cut up a burb or two for the parts. just cutting spot welds to clean up the panels for grafting, should be fun!!! pics to follow...

craftsman 120v set to min. temp and 3ish wire speed. I think im running non flux core wire, but I will check. no shielding gas... plus whats cool, when i flip to max temp and same wire speed i can weld 1/4" plate with same results!!!

Re: finally come
Thanks Pimpston65. I'm using gas on Lincoln 135, setting B(from A,B,C,D) and number 3 (out of 10). Next time out I'll take it down to 2 and see. Thanks.
