Everybody has good ideas. One idea leads to another that leads to another. The industry gets better sharing ideas. The OEMs watch what we do and add it to future production releases. All a win and a huge thanks for everyone for bouncing ideas off one another that develop into something bigger without us knowing.I wish I had thought to do the same, instead I ended up with a larger main tank

I don’t know. It said Mazda engineers were working on it. You are probably right.

Did some micro laser welding with medical devices. You can either free hand it with magnification or program it. You weld staring at a computer monitor.

What you think doesn't look good, others will see it and that will spark a new idea and so on. We all learn from each other and grow. Great part about sharing and helping. Win/ Win!!

years ago I saw a guy try to weld a piece of two inch flat bar to an inch and a half pipe with 7018.
It was a nice enough weld but it was all on the pipe none on the flat bar. Literally fell off when he tried to knock off the slag.

7018 is really nice to use but requires a bit of knowledge and care. It makes some really nice looking welds when the settings are right and the rods are taken care of. 6011 is my go to for quick welding. Really easy to use and almost as easy as hot glue gun welding.

If someone put me in charge of the world, I wouldn’t outlaw 6011 on the first day in office, but I would by the end of the second week.
And I say that having burnt up hundreds of pounds of the stuff.

I was pretty happy with those welds on .250 wall aluminum...GMAW, not TIG.
