Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 2 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 2 | I can weld pretty good with an arc welder. 1/8 to 2 inch material. 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.
