[walshop100]

great tip thanks. also wondering what size wire you would use for a panel like that?

[restolad]

@walshop100 i use .6 solid mig wire and CO2 gas Restolad

[BuickDoc]

My problem with mig welding is that the weld bead is so hard that it is difficult to grind without overheating the panel. Do you have any suggestions? Is it the wire?

[restolad]

@BuickDoc your right mig is hard to grind - I use a 3m or blue corps flexable grinding wheel

watch my surface rust removal video i am using them there. they are the best and make short work of of a mig weld.

anton !!!! do you have a serious brain injury, ? your comments on other peoples videos and mine are harsh, copper and aluminum refined for industrial use,are not pure there fore they are alloys,

your knowledge of things mechanical, has made you socially retarded, and leave you looking very foolish.

time to grow up buddy .

Try some some positive affirmation, towards those around you , then i will guarantee your circle of friends will increase, and people might like to be around you .

why did nt u weld it from the other side the hidden side.

Restolad, wtf happened? I watched this vid like 2 and a half years ago back when i was starting to teach myself welding, and now it's got 128K views? Nice job dude! (And I dig the background music, screw it, and did that Brit aero engineer never look up wtf 6061 is?) (Mech Eng here, 20 years experience).

thanks for the tips mate

[lynel1985]

@restolad i agree those blue coloured overlapping flap wheel looking things work wonders

[therigger66]

Much appreciated, heat sink worked a treat!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great tip.

[omarks]

Thanks, very clear and useful

[gekkomaster1]

exelent video,especially because you kept it short and simple :)

the best thing to have when welding really thin materials is a fully adjustable mig welder, so you can adjust the voltage and wire-feed independently.

Thanks for the tip, haven't thought of that before.

6 people tryed this and this and weilded the copper to there work lol
