Now try it in free air? Not clamped down to the piece of wood or a welding bench which acts as a Heat sink.
Performing welds on thin gauge steel on a bench and in Free air are two different things.
Not a Hater just pointing things out.
At any rate Grinding down mild steel Mig weld and Plannishing it is no fun, Most Mig bead will crack while its being plannished.
The Thread has kinda sorta gotten off topic with the addition of Mild steel Mig weld.
Silicon Bronze is a Viable option on thin gauge mild Steel. While it is being used more and more on today's new cars its also a Viable option for panel repairs, although I am not convinced that using a Mig is the only way to go or the correct application method for Panel repair.
If anyone knows a Good cheap source for a Spool of it I would be willing to pick some up and give it a whirl in my machine although I would also have to pick up a New liner for my Torch and a set of drive rollers for the stuff that's not a problem.
I have wanted to put it in my arsenal for a while.
