that was sort of what I did the first time. hit the scap yard for some decent pieces of metal to practice running beads. wasn't always straight, but after fiddling with the controls I figured out what gets me a decent bead and good penetration. I also discovered there is a grease you can use that you dip the gun in to cut down on splatter. 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: JJJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mercedes mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Fri, 25 Nov 2005 18:33:00 -0800 Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - MIG welders
when i got my mig welder i just picked up pieces of scrap from the shop and started playing with the controls on the welder...just making nothing. after awhile, i sensed which levels and which angles of attack made something... later i learned that if you want to weld copper, you get copper wire and argon...and then i made copper nothings for awhile... and if you want to weld aluminum...buy a tip gun but, at long last, use the sob...make a mess...then get to the job at hand _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
