For a home welder it's just fine and miles better than flux.
Look at johnny curts rebuild, those welds are just pub gas
Ferric oxide based self removing floor panels!

I appriciate the cheaper gas hint but I'll stick with the Argo Shield as I need all the help I can get! The weld you guys were looking at was a butt weld 2nd attempt. If you look to the top of that image you can just make out my 1st go and I blew right through.
Unfortunatly I did not get chance to do any more this afternoon the wife had other plans for me! and no they were not the fun type either!!

So where are at now with your Disco?
Or you still having welding practice
I went from this
To this with my 130A mig set.
All I ever use is pub gas, ok welds and still getting back in the swing of it but loads better than shelling out everytime work needs done!!!

I have not had a lot of time the last week and last weekend I contracted some evil pestilance that tried its hardest to make my insides... outsides!
I am hoping to do some preping this weekend and maybe some 'real' welding instead of practice! I also ordered up a load of red oxide and chassis paint and the spares for the welder. I also got some 0.6mm wire as well to give it a try. At the moment I have been using 0.8mm.
Your repair certianly looks good! Hopefully I will be able to achieve someting similar. I will of course post updates and photos for mocking and advice!
