    Honestly you are really getting good at this whole UA-cam videos. Honestly is a joy to watch with good information thrown in.

    dedication right there, plus having to put up with a flux core welder

      Cheers! I've since switched to gas, flux didn't give me a fine enough weld for the thin sheet metal. Barely enough for brand new 1mm sheet haha

      Depends on the shop you go to, and how much you spend 😂 this Datsun came with half an inch of filler over unprepped rust holes so I guess the previous owner cheaped out on their repairs haha

    looking good mate, I think you should move the welder tip closer to the metal before pulling the trigger.

    • @32Builds
      @32Builds  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks! Whenever I do though, it instantly blows right through on contact. Depends on where though, maybe I should turn down the voltage?
      Sometimes I do it to zap off the excess wire when I cant be bothered grabbing my snippers

    • @isaiahtheman
      @isaiahtheman 4 роки тому +1

      @@32Builds the distance you hold the tip from the metal can control penetration a lot actually, so in your case i would actually keep a little bit of a further stick out if you are having trouble blowing through.

    • @32Builds
      @32Builds  4 роки тому

      I've actually been noticing that! For plug welds and corner joints I go in super close to make sure I get the penetration on the second panel. With butt joints usually there's a little bit of gap I weld a little further out, and for blow throughs I'm well away from the piece.
      Also my welder doesn't pick up wire-speed instantly, so at the start of each weld there's not enough wire going in. I know its not an issue with the roller losing traction, maybe the old motor cant handle the initial torque of the full big size spool.
