I've read through this newsgroup plenty of times, and I know this is a
dead-horse type topic. But I was hoping someone has a step by step
web site on the finer points of stick welding sheet metal.

I got the following...
1. low amps, small rod (1/16)
2. NO gap, tight, clean fitup
3. Move fast (2 inches per second was what one previous posted said)

can anyone add anything else? How great would it be if someone out
there has a FAQ for Stick Welding sheetmetal. (I've googled, but no
luck)

Thanks for any feedbacks.


Wrong newsgroup.

Check out

Your best rod for sheet metal will be 6013.
Low penetration and very ductile welds.

If you need to run vertical beads, run them downhill fast.
