[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 828567, member: 3162"] Just put in a lot of paint to cover up the weld porosity :D After going thru ASME B31-1 training a few years back, my perspective changed quite a bit. A lot of the things we learned in the books at welding school in the 70's aint true. We practiced a lot under the hood of what we were taught. You can look at welds under the microscope and see why it was wrong teaching in "old school" practices. If it is too thin to stick weld, wire it up. Then go back with a good 7018 overlay. If it is truly worth your time to do, take the time to do it good. I don't have a lot of faith in the wire feed welding even tho I have the best of machinery to do it with. Automated machine or tig welding is another story. [/QUOTE]
