Welding when you’re not 40 anymore…
6013 stick weld rod x 3/32" dia. used to but weld 1/4" extension plates onto Modified '89 Truck Receiver Hitch.
Welding at 110 amps.
Angle grind and then smooth grinder scratches with 80 DA Sander. All painted up... corrosion resistant.
4 Key Points of Welding:
1. Heat > How many amps you set your welder at.
2. Angle > The angle in degrees that your welding rod is to the welding path you wish to travel.
3. Distance > The distance the tip of the welding rod is off of the molten puddle as you are welding.
4. Speed > The speed of travel while moving along the desired welding path.
Heat
Angle
Distance
Speed
Practice, Practice..... always good to do a practice bead first on a piece of scrap metal to make sure you have your heat and rod selection right, just before you lay down that nice bead on the project you are welding.
