[Vwdiesel] Welder?

[raymond greeley]

I felt like you that oxy/acetlyene introduced too much heat and just maybe this was an older method, while still
used, not as good as current tech.
I have used mig with fllux core and it was messy and weak.
I have seen many use mig with co2 gas with good results on metal fencing  and  wondered about the gas
type as some used argon over co2 and preferred it
they both produce a sheilded weld so is argon hotter
