Haven't tried it so ...       --       Snag       ------------------------------------       I found that if everything is right (by luck) pushing the gun gives a smooth       wide shallow puddle with little spatter, fine for patching rust holes in       thin Honda fenders. IIRC the gun was at the push angle but didn't move       because each weld was brief to avoid melting through. I used 0.023" wire and       straight CO2.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
