Right on, practices, everything

Thanks for subscribing to our channel. We returned the favor, Good Video. Back in the day I welded body pannells with a acytlene torch and coat hangers. I like our wire welder.

The fender I' m patching has a gas weld seam across the front that's probably older than me. I use tig and fluxcore as my main 2 types.

I would not clean if I was using the MIG, but if I was going to TIG it then I would clean with acetone for sure. When doing critical welds on thin sheet steel using my HF start TIG, I have pre-flow set to 0.5 seconds, and post-flow set to 1 second, as this both protects and cools the weld area to avoid distortion. Also when cutting or grinding away unwanted material, I'd still be cooling every 5 seconds with compressed air and/or a cool rag to avoid distorting the panel

Right on, thank you for the input.

It never hurts to wipe down your parts and welding wire with a clean cotton rag and acetone. Any oils can contaminate your welds.

Appreciate the input. I will try that next time

A mig/mag device is used for these needs, not a tig. You have big distortions and overheating of the material.
