the SS welding really didnt work. it was like way too much heat. i didnt try turning the flame down.
the way it was going it didnt seem like the metal was liking it.

not bad, not bad, good to see lost techniques still alive in the world

Re: prepping for oxy acetylene welding
 

The SS needed to be cleaned and prepped with it like that you would have had a hell of a time even with a good tig welder.

Re: prepping for oxy acetylene welding
 

Prep it alittle better I just dont like seeing the scale in the heat zone.
Its not overheated, not so hot its warped to hell. You know, get the filler application down and you got it.

Still waiting on you to watse money & buy a tig LoL!

Re: prepping for oxy acetylene welding
 

seriously. i want a tig so bad.. its just so freakin expensive and or big.

Try and find a china-tig vender that'll service CSaddict's on the cheap?

ok so bringing back the dead.

remember that pic up top that i posted of me trying to weld stainless with gas.

well i found a flux that allows you to gas weld SS.

this is a pic of the exact same piece of SS tubing that i tried out for the first time ever.
flows like butter.
