Welding question 2
turn the trailer over...
John Bill Daniels wrote: I am struggling to master a simple 115V wire feed welder. I need to repair a glider trailer. Now, I'm pretty damn good with oxy-acetylene and TIG but this wire feed thing has me stumped. The rig I borrowed doesn't have an argon bottle for true MIG welding so I'm using flux core wire. Of course I RTFM and practised on some scrap until I could run a modest bead. The big problem is upside-down welding on the bottom of the trailer. Aside from the need to lie in a shower of hot metal, the results are really ugly. Any tips? bildan

John second best answer I've heard of. first best? ditch the 115V welder and beg or borrow a 230v welder 115v fluxcores are considered one of the weakest sisters for welding over on sci.engr.joining.welding had that answer when I got a free 115v arc welder. I asked if maybe a fluxcore would be better.
