Re: Patching a SS muffler

[audistuff@juno.com (Paul R Anderson)]

Much better durability and quality with TIG than with stick welding.  The
thin material is hard to weld properly using stick.  You also might
find someone who is set up to weld stainless with MIG.  I think
they need helium shielding gas to do a good job.
