Thanks Kevin....

Is there any major differences between using the .8 or .6 wire?

Anyone in Sydney willing to give us a demonstration? :P

PM sent. :wink:

<edit> 0.6 wire gives a pretty small weld and so you need a real steady hand. I tried it and went back to 0.8 (which my Kemppi is optimised for). Fills holes real good... :lol:

Dave, I used a gasless MIG, slow wire speed and blew a hole in the work occasionally.

Sorry mate, can't really give more advice than that. Are you working live on the car, or on test material?
