Oh geez, here comes the welding police in 3..2..1.. “You should not use flux cored post-flow wrong gas mix chrome-moly reverse polarity work hardened spool gun in your weak penetration of underwater basket weaving project!”. Watch... These welding threads always turn into a pen!s contest, especially if you post your row of dimes and start rattling stick #’s, you’re doomed. No matter what, you didn’t do it right. Everybody else can weld better from their armchair, with a beer in one hand, and the remote in the other.
While you’ve got the buzz box warmed up, lay a bead or 3 on the rocker arms so they don’t fall off again.
