Heat

Kimberly,
Welllllllllllll I am going to try to stay on topic. I love to weld but the MIG hmmmmmm. I have had one for about a year now and nice to use for tacking things together and being quick but ugly.

I guess the one thing that I would stress is correct heat=amps.
By this you can go to the by lines of not enough you do not get the penetration and a weak weld along with a glob.
Too much heat and you burn through and have to mend the hole. Correct heat you get a strong weld along with one that can be attractive (trying to think on women terms of what a good weld looks like, don't you gals have your own lingo?)

I guess I took my turn.
