Metal warping
I'm using a clark 130EN MIG no gas welder and have been trying to weld cracked 40 ford running boards. I've used this welder many times but I'm having a problem with warping. I'm using .035 wire at a medium wire speed. The problem is when I'm about 3/4 done the metal is warped to a point where I cannot finish the job as there is to much of a gap left. I'm spot welding at first but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
