Hmmm k whatever you say there master fabricator...
First I'd like to know how you butt weld floor pans without using numerous tacks until you connect the patch all the way around? You cant run a bead on floor pans. You'll blow straight through with nothing underneath it. AND even if you do managed to have a very delicate machine that you can turn way way down and get a bead flowing on 18ga sheet then guess what, you just warped that sheet because your putting to much heat into the work and your "I was never there you just dont know how to do it right" philosophy is right out the window.
I feel like if your gonna preach things looking like they were never replaced your gonna grind all those welds perfectly smooth anyway so how does fluxcore vs solidcore and gas make a difference? O it doesnt thats right because when a weld is ground smooth youd have no ****ing clue if it was tig'd, mig'd, sticked, fluxcored, or freakin magiced together
I patched plenty of holes in the floor of my pickup with my old harbor freight wirefeeder. And guess what I ground it down, painted it, and it looked like it was never done. And it certainly didnt scream OMG LOOK AT ME THIS IDIOT DID THIS WITH A FLUXCORE WELDER WHAT AND IDIOT!!!! Guess what it looked the same as if I used gas.
I love when people that have never even picked up a welder try to talk tech about stuff like this.
Feather I can understand wanting things to look like they were never touched. Unfortunately Billy is right about using roset welds and overlapping being much stronger than butting the plate together and tacking like I said.
