I know I can weld the unused holes in my frame, grind a little and have a smooth finish. But I need to weld a couple patch panels. Was curious if use of an arc welder would be ok and if so what kind of rod would be best. Or should I find a mig or tig? Ive never used a mig before.
Thanks CBK

Everything you know is wrong.
