Mig welding

[stansblue72]

What's the best mix of gas for my mig welder for sheet metal repair?
I'm replacing the inner fenders and radiator support on my dart.
I plan on doing a lot of practice before attempting repairs.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!:cheers:

I use 25% Carbon Dioxide, 75% Argon and the smallest wire I can get which is 23..

Thanks, GTGrinly, I'll be going down later today to get the gas.
