Stick welding off lincoln electric site:


Some limits of stick welding are:


Welding thin materials (less than 18-gauge steel) may be difficult or impossible.
Marginal for welding aluminum. It takes a high degree of operator skill to weld aluminum with the stick process.
You must clean the slag off the weld.
Stick is a slower process than MIG.

im in canada its like 35 bucks.

Shinning was probly achieved with hand sanding with all 10 grits working way to like 400 wet sand then buff on buffing wheel. about 2 hours of owrk and youll be there...
