What does MIG nozzle gel do?
MIG nozzle gel does not make the quality of your beads better. It is used to keep spatter buildup from the welding nozzle and the contact tip. As a result, if used properly, your welding gun’s nozzle will last much longer.
Is it easy to spot weld?
Due to its lower thermal conductivity and higher electrical resistance, steel is comparatively easy to spot weld, with low carbon steel being most suited to spot welding. Also, with zinc alloys, the copper electrodes rapidly degrade the surface and lead to a loss of weld quality.
Can a MIG welder be used for spot welding?
Spot Welding in the past had primarily been done by large resistance welders but can now be achieved with your MIG welder and this Spot Welding Kit from Eastwood. Spot welding is accomplished by clamping two panels together and fusing them with a number of welds sequentially-placed rather than a continuous bead to hold the panels together.
What kind of tip dip do you use for welding?
This tip dip is a gel substance that is blue so you can see where you put it and if you missed any spots in the process. The blue color also makes it fairly easy to clean up when you’re finished with your welding job. The tub comes with a full pound of gel and it doesn’t take a lot when you’re welding so it should last you for several uses.
How is spot welding done with a welder?
Spot welding is accomplished by clamping two panels together and fusing them with a number of welds sequentially-placed rather than a continuous bead to hold the panels together. This kit is designed to be used with Eastwood’s Welders as well as any other brand welder that utilizes a Tweco® Style MIG torch.
How do you Weld panels with a MiG torch?
You can the panels to be pressed together quite tightly so that you get a strong weld between them. Next spin off the gas nozzle on your MIG torch and spin on the Spot Weld Nozzle. This nozzle fits most any MIG welder that uses tweco torch consumables. With the nozzle mounted you can next set the length of your welding wire.
