How to weld by using this here and you're going well up quarter panels on your car well that's to me that's not a really good explanation now up here i got three different style metals okay this is big heavy 14 gauge um i've used this on in some of my  for making mounts and stuff like that it's a heavier gauge 2.8 millimeter stick the most common one i use is this one here it's an 18 gauge 1.2 millimeters this is the the most common steel i like using this even when i'm running slider metals like that Metal Corner Brackets over there uh because it get it's it gives you something more strength to it and we are doing a lot of grinding and stuff like that if you concentrate on this here if you start with the 18 gauge and start growing it down you'll grind it down to 19 or 20 or something like that when you're finished going down so you got room to the grind the metal down to finish it at the end now over here this is the most common metal you're going to find in a lot of modern day vehicles it's 22 gauge uh 0.08 millimeters now this is the stuff that a lot of you guys have.

I've seen are welding off so what I'm going to do today I'm going to do all my welding on this sheet piece of metal here this stuff here is a lot easier to work with okay this here is not as easy to work with so when I start putting all the heavier gauge wires and the flux core wires into this here you're going to see a difference in it so I'm going to cut individuals pieces at this here and I'm going to do a bot weld on all of them and I'll show you that but this is the metal we're going to use it's just a regular automotive car this is a roof of a ranger pickup that I saved so it is an actual car roof uh actually they come off a car because Outdoor Screws it's not just the sealer from the royal finals so I'm gonna take cut a bunch of strips out of that and get started on.

Now to get a better understanding of the gauges you can see here the thickness markers 20 gauge 22 gauge 24 gauge 16 14 18 what not you can see actually how thick the actual metal is so this will give you some idea of the different metals now we're at the second last one up here 22 gauge their aircars out there now today with 24 gauge on them and it's extremely hard to weld but for the most part, we're going to go with 22 on this one today as you can see 18 gauge is what I usually wait well that so uh let's get started now for each one of these tests I got little strips of metal cut out is the 22 gauge.
