I am pulling my hair out here!
I have a cycle bottom bracket shell which has a thickness of 3mm. I am trying to weld the rear chain stays to it and they have a thickness of .9mm.
I can't get a puddle going without blowing through the chain stays. If I wait until there is just enough heat to start the puddle then as soon as I add filler rod to the puddle it cools it too much and the puddle solidifies.
Is there a technique to doing this so it wont blow through?
Thank you
Sheridan
