Critique My Welding

[flyboy71]

Not meaning to hijack the thread but since were talking welding does anyone know the proper way to plug weld a panel that the spot welds were drilled out? I see some say just make circles, some say start at the edge of the hole and some say hold it vertical and just fill the hole with a puddle. I can fill the hole but my MIG sputters and my spot has too much dome. I need more practice too Im sure.

-when you're welding always remember that the angle grinder is your best friend!

-depending on the size of the holes you're filling often times you can use a nail as a piece of filler and then cut/grind the excess off
-if you're just plug welding basically make a little circle (if its a larger hole) and if you can,use a backer -a piece of copper, anything from a penny to a crushed piece of copper pipe ,the weld won't stick to it and it'll make your life a little easier

also flat position welding (the work piece is horizontal) is the easiest and most efficient -not always possible to do tho'
