Hey Bill.
If this is one of the cobra trailers with the rubber suspended
axle coming up thru the floor...... I'd stop and have a fab shop
add some stiffeners to the structure and have somebody do it
with the right tools. I'd HATE to have the trailer fail and break an
expensive plastic toy inside. YMMV

Have a great day

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?
