This video was a tough one. I tried to find the easiest way to weld thin sheet metal with flux core. Flux core is usually used for heavier metals and is not intended for sheet metal. I think the video turned out pretty well an I hope it helps you guys that asked for this video. If yall have any more videos that you want seen please drop them in the comments and I might just make them for you!!!! Thanks for watching and have a Blessed day!!!!!

It is fun to watch people who are used to gas Mig when they first try flux core. They are always surprised how well it welds, flat welds and can gap fill. They have all listened to the negative stories about gasless and then when they try it, yes it is different, but with practice it is as good as gas mig AND cheaper as you dont need to buy gas. Think of it as miniature stick welding with a continuous stick feed , you can use it outside cos there is no gas to blow away. It also WILL weld onto metal that is a little rusty , it doesnt need to be factory clean metal. Any doubts, look at Bondo Billy youtube channel.

I am just starting my welding journey, I bought a Vulcan MigMax 215 (Harbor Freight) and I really like the machine. Currently I need to weld a bunch of 1/2" EMT (19GA) and this video has really helped me be more successful than when I first did a couple test welds. Running compressed air through the tubing while welding was a game changer for me! Keeps it a lot cooler and less blow-through 🥰

I used for body work on a Chevy van. I expected it to be 20 gauge panels but I swear some were 24 gauge. I did but joints but if I did it again I would lap it (as Lakeside Autobody suggests) to get a thicker surface to weld. I think the backing of the table provided some cooling or stabilization - it might be a different animal if open air behind. Your tip about where to start the tack is great - may have made my work easier!

Thanks for watching, this flux core can be challenging, it can be done. I will say solid core sheilded gas makes life sooooo much easier. As for lapping pannels, the only problem ive seen with at is any time you lap metal together. There is a chance for dirt and moisture to get in between and rust it out. Also the other is you can't stretch the metal back out when you hammer and dolly the joint. The advantage of lapping is its stronger and easier to weld. Ive been building custom muscle cars and hot rods for 20 years doing all sheet metal and paint and body. Just a little friendly tip. Thanks for watching!!!

I've used flux core quite a bit on sheet metal, mostly18 to 20 guage, on a mid 70's Pontiac firebird. The key is patience. That table he's welding on is acting as a backing plate, which is something I highly recommend, when practical. This guy is right,dont buy into all the hype on flux core. If all you have is a cheap flux core machine, use it, practice, experiment with different brands of wire, try different settings , you'll be surprised at how good your welds will look the more time you spend with your welder. It's not the machine , it's the person using it...

I don't agree with you. The best option the author can do for the viewer is to make chapters into the video. There's no logical need for 2 videos as it is one topic. So yeah, @ACDesignsGarage, just chapters if it's feasible for you, there's also no real problem to just fast-forward the video a couple of times really. Great material as well, I enjoyed watching it. :)

Hi brother, thank you for this video. I almost never flux core weld, but I find myself using it now on 1/2” galvanized conduit. I clean off the galvanized with my surface conditioner tool and fit the joints as best I can. Still getting lumpy welds and an occasional blow through. I’m tacking but not the same way you are. I’m going to go out in the shop and try laying my angle lower like you suggest and let the wire drag itself across the joint. I appreciate all of the advice and techniques you shared. Remember, Jesus loves you and so do I 🙏✝️

@joshuatran3667
@joshuatran3667 Ай бұрын
I have been watching a lot of videos on this topic and none of them goes into the minute details anout welding techniques. Like what angle to hold the gun, do you start by putting the tip of the wire on the sheet before squeezing the trigger, hold the gun down because you are going to feel some initial pushback etc. I envy the author for having such a flat penetrating weld but mine has the globs all over. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
@ACDesignsGarage
@ACDesignsGarage Ай бұрын
You can let it touch, mine is probably 1/8" or 3mm off the metal then squeeze the trigger. Maybe try turning up the volts or turning down the wire feed speed. Just do one at a time. If the wire starts spitting and sputtering add a lil more wire speed. If it starts burning back in the tip turn down the volts ,also your contact tip should be no more than 1/2" from the metal. Hope this helps!!!

FWIW if you have one of those portable lithium spot welders (automatic type, which detects closed circuit and releases huge charge after half a second) you can tack really thin metals together for soldering/brazing later if welding is too difficult. They're actually designed for tacking nickel strips to lithium battery packs' terminals, but I got them to work on .4mm sheet metal in lap joint. PS: I can't weld for sh*t, I avoid for thin material if possible.

Hello, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I am new to the subject of welding, I am learning a little from the videos I watch on KZbin, I am trying to do a restoration on my old car that I bought, but I am confused since you say that if you weld two metal sheets it is better that there is no space between them. They are very close together, but in another video I watched they say that it is better to leave a small opening, the gauge of the sheet I am using is 18 gauge. Thanks for sharing, I really hope you can answer my question. thank you.😊

Every one has there own way of doing this, I guess its preference, but mine comes from 20 plus years of doing restoration and custom painting. Not to say a gap is wrong, but it does give more of a chance of warping because it gives the metal a place to move. What metal does as you weld it ,it shrinks. Its like pinching the center of a piece of paper the it wrinkles all around the outside, you should try that. Paper works alot like sheet metal. Ill put a link below of a fender that I repaired and made my own patch pannel from scratch. Hope this helps. Ill put 2 videos below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HHd4Fvmctof7ssi=3w5K0wwZm2yIyTbF kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWfWoY2ar9Z5rsksi=wIWpONmw8F-p7GlL

Greetings AC, thanks for sharing your knowledge on the process of welding thin metal. I purchased my Arccaptain mig200 about a month ago and have had moderate success using .030 flux wire on 26 gauge sheet metal. I am thinking with the additional info you have taught me it will take me to another level. Most of my experience in welding has been with heavy structural steel over the past 30 years. Retired know I wanted to take my welding to a whole new level. I have worked with many welder over the years and find this welder to be quite impressive so far. I did find out from another youtuber that Harbor Freight's FCAW GASLESS NOZZLE 2 PK SKU 63795 fits the Mig200 torch like a glove. Have a great day.

Quality of wire is important, junk like "Horrible Fate" Vulcan is awful compared to Lincoln E-71T-11 or Hobart . I run a Lincoln 90i FC and on 20g have no problem running a normal bead, got to crank it down as far as possible move fast and support the two pieces as best possible. butt joints are difficult, if you need a level surface, use a flanger like what is used in body sheet metal work and lap joint it, then you can profile the bead flat. FC get's a bad rap because most people don't understand the prossees. Lincoln Electric has an excellent knowledge base article on FC, it's more geared towards big wire like what's used in shipyards and steel building construction. but the principles are the same. Something else that has an impact is moisture and your wire, keep spools in plastic bag's with dessacant packs in them, I also run a big one inside the wire compartment, it's has a blue spot that turns pink (put it in the microwave a few seconds and reactivate the pouch) otherwise remove the spool when not using it and put it in a sealed dry container.

Isn't .30 wire hotter than .35

Usually the problem is it takes more heat to melt the 0.035

It can be done ,you have to take your time, but if you had access to a solid core gas mig it would make life easier.

Great video very informative. Just curious when you weld 22 gauge with 75/25 what settings do you use?

Probably around 15.5 volts and 195 to 200 ipm, on the wire feed speed would be a good start. Let me know how that goes!!!!

Easiest way is to live in Japan with shitty 100v 15amp outlets. You’re not welding anything else 🤣

New subscriber. Only have flux core at the moment. Will be welding on the car in my profile picture. My late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban. I grew up with this car. Learned how to drive and work on vehicles with it. Playlist on my channel if you're interested. 🤔

Man it took forever to actually start welding. Little info. Overlapping the sheet metal is MUCH easier. Believe me you’ll need to use filler either way. So save yourself some time
@ACDesignsGarage
@ACDesignsGarage 6 ай бұрын
Its easier but youll have rust issues in the future if you lap it. Ive seen it a ton of times in my 20 years of doing restorations. Its stronger and faster to lap but it will bite you later lol.

Flux Core works better than Mig Gas when there is a draft or breeze. Try welding outside with Gas.

I agree, if I do any welding outside flux works great!!
