warburtonplayer said:Yeah dont use a wire welder on something like this I tried to cheat and do a quick job, now it will take me twice as long because now I will have to grind it all down and start over!!! If I would have just took the time to use the sticke welder I would not be in the situation.
No, if you would have just taken the time to prepare the parts properly, i.e. proper beveling if necessary, and used some gentle preheat, you would not be in this mess. I don't mean to pile on. But, poor technique is not relevant to the equipment or materials used.
I would have probably used a stick. But, I could also have done it with your mig. You need to learn more about how to accomplish a strong weld and this is part of that. Don't be discouraged. We all went through the same process.
