Since this metal on the trailer tubing is only 3/16, should I weld it
with my Hobart Mig 135 with .30 wire and Argon/Co2 mix, or the same
welder with .35 flux core, or arc welder?

I am a newbie welder and was not sure what the advantages/
disadvantages are. (Other than with the wire and gas there is no flux
obviously). I guess it seems mig is a liitle easier but maybe not as
much penetration?

be as fast as MIG welding and almost as pretty. You'll have to clean up
the flux afterward, though. (clip)

I would think that the difference is mostly personal.

Assuming that you're competent, you should be able to do a perfectly
good job with any of the methods you list.

Stick welding (they're all 'arc' welding) will make ugly welds and will
take the most time. In theory you can get away with dirtier metal with
stick welding but I always try to get things clean enough to solder
these days -- I screw up welds enough other ways, I don't need to screw
them up with dirt.

MIG welding will make the prettiest welds (assuming you're good), it'll
be fast, and penetration should be sufficient for a good weld (assuming
you're good).

I have just about no experience with flux core wire, but I assume it'll
be as fast as MIG welding and almost as pretty. You'll have to clean up
the flux afterward, though.

Perhaps you should make some test welds on some scrap, then decide which
method is best for _you_.

Thank you for posting what I consider one of the best pieces of advice ever
posted here. Kudos. A monkey can make a good looking MIG weld with a
couple of days training. Whether or not it will hold is another thing. I've
had lots of MIG stuff come apart, but they were ornamental metal and
decorative things, and not structural of over the road. On the surface they
looked fine, but underneath, they were not.

Good on you for your advice. For the OP, weld it up. Pull it, hammer it,
bend it, saw it in half through the weld. See what you got, and don't go by
looks alone. Consider FCAW as the polarity is different, and gets better
penetration.

Thanks for your addition -- I forgot the "test it" part.

Interesting, but what is the difference between that and flux core mig
welding?

Flux Cored Arc Welding

I'm still trying to figure out if stryped is merely thick or a troll. Right
now, I just have him filtered. I'm beginning to think he's a thick troll.

Since this metal on the trailer tubing is only 3/16, should I weld it
with my Hobart Mig 135 with .30 wire and Argon/Co2 mix, or the same

I am a newbie welder and was not sure what the advantages/

obviously). I guess it seems mig is a liitle easier but maybe not as
