So I bought a cheap harbor freight mig welder for $100. It is a gas free 90amp welder and came with some flux core wire.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I had to fix a weld that a shop did and refused to fix, so I figured instead of paying another $75 and waiting for a shop to fix it, I would just get my own welder cause the deal was so good.
Well it's been an awesome little welder, I've been able to do some side jobs in welding a muffler for somebody and was able to easily fix my shoddy welds on my car.
Now my problem is I am trying to patch a small hole in the rear of my catback, where it goes over the rear end. It is a magnaflow stainless catback and there is a quarter size hole where the bracket snapped off and took some of the catback with it.
I am trying to weld on a piece of steel to the stainless and I'm not having much luck, but a lot of splatter.
Am I going to be able to use this welder to patch this hole?
