RE: Looking for an excuse to play with fire (welding a broken shovel)

in #diy7 years ago

That's a better weld than I can do with an oxy/acetylene torch! I usually use braising rod when I use the torch, for me it's easier to work with. I'm using propane instead of acetylene, so braising is easier. I can't really get the heat that you need for welding rods.

Thanks, if all I had was propane i'd be stuck using my arc welder and that weld would look like a giant gob of shit. Propane is great for many things but welding steel is not one of them.
