Can someone help me out or point me in the right direction to somewhere that can? I need the basics laid out for me.

This is the book where I learnt the majority of my welding skills:

Your local Victor dealer should have little yellow books that explains it all pretty well. My welding shop hands them out free! You will need that and a little patience!

I guess I'll have to it the same way I learned to arc weld, go out and figure it out. I'm gonna give it a shot this afternoon.

That was our text in college in 1981( many reprints). I still refer to it.

Its all about the flame. Once you get a nuetral flame it makes it a lot more do able. Nice, tight round tit...tip I said tip on the blue flame.

I second the little yellow Victor book.

Rock-Wear · 03-16-2005, 04:31 PM

melt the rod with the puddle, not the flame!

The weld goes where the heat is!

That's about it, control the heat, you'll control the weld.

Gads, I hate that sound. Gets me everytime it happens. Pure adrenilin dump. *shudder*

FordCarnage · 03-17-2005, 08:25 AM

So am I just using my standard 6010 stick electrodes? Today is the day.

Black Sabbath · 03-17-2005, 05:42 PM

No you don't want the flux from the rod. Go out and pick yourself up some tig rod and your off to the races.

CrustyJeep · 03-17-2005, 06:19 PM

Or some coat hangers

Pook · 03-17-2005, 07:07 PM

you can also use wire from your mig welder for light stuff.
