Hi Brice, Using the 7014 rod I welded the uni body stiffeners in my El Camino and they came out ok. The good news is that they are in places folks would be hard pressed to see the welds. My Son who is a sheep metal fabricator and who can write his name on an aluminum beer can with a TIG machine told me my welds penitrated well but they looked like a duck with the shits flew over the parts.
Are you familiar with the "Auto Darkening" line of welding helmets? When you strike your arc, a photo-electric cell automatically darkens the helmet face-plate. The helmet has a control so that you can set the desired level of darkness. At 04:14 PM 9/27/2006 -0700, brice mijares wrote: >Making a weld without eye sight can be done.
