Hello again.
Im finding butt welds tricky. I can weld Ok in the centre of 1mm sheet by pulsing, and overlap joints, no blow throughs and pretty decent penetration. However, today I had a go at joining 2 pieces of 1mm, with a 1mm gap and i just cant get the puddle to flow across the gap consistently.
I have a few questions.
1) When butt welding 1mm car panels is it advisable to leave no gap? Ive read some say leave a gap, other saying no gap. Its seems no gap would be easier.
2)Grounding, do you have to ground both sheets, the patch and the body?
Once again, thank you
