Dang...
I've got Shoe Goo around, I just forget to use it.
I did use some Liquid Electrical tape to patch a hole in the seat of my
Montgomery Ward lawntractor.
Worked great until I was using some body english to climb a hill and I snapped
the seat mounts out of the seat...
I didn't fall off the back of the mower, but dang near...
Of course I was towing my Cub Cadet 72 at the time.

Hi Curt,
I have the same welder but bought it at Home Depot. As far as heat
settings, the 2 are frustrastingly too few but the wire feed is critical
also - you must adjust it also - more than I thought needed - it made a
bigger difference than I expected.
Anyway, I enjoy learning with it.
The biggest advance is welding technology IMHO, is the self-darkening
welding hood. it makes life *much* easier.
