What do you do intend on welding? I hope nothing important safety wise on your car?Welding is a skill that you really need to learn in practice from a trained instructor. I've done it before small scale but the lads I hire in to do my welding in work have been at it years!
That angle actually looks pretty solid to be honest! Good work Since you'll be making things for around the house I'd now focus on aesthetics. Try clean the droppings off of that original angle and then get a wire head attachment for a drill and polish it up!
Was going to suggest spray which makes a lot easier to scrape off spatter and repells a certain amount.
This looks good. I'm gonna buy myself a mig welder just because I can't learning how to do a few bits and would be good to make some shelves in the garage.Sent from my LG-H955 using Tapatalk
flux core is a very hot wire, would have been better using mig solid wire. as for learning, its quite self taught, granted you need to know the basics but best way is to practice, learn angles, settings, speeds.
