I have a Lincoln weld pak 100 welder.Is this good for panel repairs?What are some good settings for welding ths sheet metal i.e. amp setting---wire speed setting. Has anyone else used one of these or should I get a different (better ) welder. Any suggestions? TIA

check the guide on the inside cover of the welder, its a good starting point, then just experiment untill you get it perfect... [/b]

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone has ever used lead as a body filler?
if so I need opinions.

Thank you and god bless

I vaguely remember seeing this welder before, and I believe it will go as low as 22 gauge. It should work fine for you car. Practice on scrap metal or an old fender.

As far as the lead, it's very "old school". Today's plastic fillers are very good and easy to use with a little practice. Lead will require more of an investment in equipment. Very few use it these days, mostly custom shops.

Old post, but for anyone's info. I picked up MIG PAK 10, same as the 100. Exclusive to places like Home Depot, etc. Will work on body panels, can do easy with gas; just core wire for shield is a little tricky, just practice.

I used A on the juice & just about 2 on the feed for butt joints
B & 1.5 for laps. Really need to experiment with how the pool works vs how to create unwanted holes. lol

Not a bad welder for the hobbiest that does not have 220V ready to go
