Did that today, Ralph.

Oh, good.  Thanks.  Lessee...ummm. yup.  That's what they sold me.

Already learned that from trial & error (and from having done
similar for years with a torch.)

I've finished the patches that won't show at all.  Some really crapo
welds but I've got a feel for the MIG gun now.  Today I got the gas
and a big spool of ER70S6. Next the wheel well skirts.....

Gak!  I s'pec yall'd rather talk about Aunt Alice's Tatted Doily and
Antimacassar Collection that Rusty Ol' Truck Repairs.  Sorry. :-)
