Evening fella's, hope you are all well.
I wonder if you could give me some advice.
I'm currently sorting out some rust on my Suzuki Vetara project, I've replaced one of the sills and patched a few holes in the floor using 1mm steel plate, I've used several small welds instead of a seam weld.
I'm a total noob but TBH I'm quite pleased with my results.... however I've been told that for car repairs I should really be doing seam welds.
Now, I've tried seams but I keep blowing holes in the rather thin Suzuki metal, I've got a fairly basic gas less mig welder with only two power settings and a variable wire feed setting.
I'm using 0.8mm wire and have the welder on the low setting.
How could I avoid the blow through problem?? would a faster or slower wire rate be better?? would a thinner wire help??
Sorry for all the questions.
Rog.
