Hi all, I'm new here and new to welding. I have brought an MG Midget and while I am happy with the mechanical jobs I have never done body work.
So here goes with my first silly question...
If welding a patch to a cleaned up hole in a vehicle, should the patch fit snug inside the hole with the weld to bridge the gap with old metal or should it overlap and be welded on top/under?
Don't worry, I'm not about to start lashing up my car, I just want to make sure I learn as much as I can before I buy my MIG.
Thanks all.
