There is an old body guy that lives down the road that has been giving me some advice and he insists that a stick welder is the only way to put patch panels in.
I have always had better success with a mig than with a stick welder, but I don't have any experience welding bodywork.
Is there a compelling reason to use a stick welder that I don't understand? My intention is to use a flanging tool so the panel and the patch overlap, then weld the pieces together.
If I do really need a stick, I can keep an eye out for a good deal on one. | | |
