Hi

It's likely that the welding was done in a fairly conventional fashion ( XXX pressure, YYY blast of current). The issue would be that rather than a 2:1 range on the pressure and current, you might have quite a bit less range.

It's going to be used inside and if anyone wants to use it in the frigid weather, they will have to deal with it.  I suppose getting it warmed up before sealing it would drive out most of the moisture, but not like evacuating and sealing it.  All I have anyhow is one of those wine bottle pumps.  I can see why these things are expensive, there's a lot more to it than putting a bunch of wires together.
