Welded a new muffler onto my buddy's Chevy S-10. That was fun. Then I welded
in the other Flowmaster 40 series muffler in my car. That was fun. I am
*beat* though! I still need to weld a couple hangers onto the mufflers on my
car... it's currently "hangerless" as I ran out of daylight & couldn't
continue. I will finish it up tomorrow. Car sounds great though!

I've recently taken up welding just as a hobby... mostly out of

curiousity.
I have a small stick welder... anybody have any tips or advice for using

it?
It constantly sticks to the d*mn project & it's gettin real old real fast.

I
"strike it like a match" to get it heated up... but maybe I just suck ;D.
Thanks in advance. Also, when I'm trying to weld.. do I hold the rod a

tiny
bit away from the metal? Or press it against the metal?
