Re: Fabbed up my first dP
What kinda welding is that first of all i would never used flux wire on exhaust pipe, used solid core L-56 wire with 75-25 gas and leave a 1/16 gap between each piece of your your exhaust pipe and weld a downward pass it will look alot better, trust me, i weld for a living i know my ---- when it comes to welding If you dont have a solid core wire welder find someone who does, b/c after awhile that flux wire weld that you put down will start to rust you will have holes throw it and then it breaks off

Your clothes drier is 220v.With a gas mig welder i can do beautiful bead on alluminized pipe.At the shop we use co2 for gas and i can still make pretty welds on that stuff.I have never used a flux core but it looks like a mig welder set way too hot and no gas.Find someone who knows how to weld and let them give you pointers.No amount of practice makes up for experience.They can show you the right distance/heat/etc and get you on the right path.It will save you alot of time and welding supplies.
