muddy Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Does it need to be in stainless? you can MIG it although the weld will rust. Quote
adam300Tdi90 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Does it need to be in stainless? you can MIG it although the weld will rust. You can MIG weld stainless: Change the wire to stainless wire, and the gas to Argos/CO2/Heluim (tri-shield). Editted to say: arGON gas not arGOS gas Quote

muddy Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 sorry what i meant to say is that it can be done with ordinary wire and gas but it will rust. I could have a bash at that for you if its any use? Quote
