I'm going to practice making some bead welds with 2mm rods on this 1.5mm sheet I've got. When I've worked out how that is meant to go then I'll try the butt welds again.
Once that has been mastered I'll go back to the 1.6mm rods on the 0.7mm sheet and see if I can do it any better. I've got a feeling that I'll need thinner rods to weld properly on the 0.7mm sheet. I think the spark is way too hot.
Question:-
Does anyone know if - on planet earth - you can obtain 1mm flux coated welding rods?

The issue with a
spot welder is the jaws must be large enough and long enough to reach top + bottom of the weld point.
I sold all five of my
spot welders twenty seven years ago, as a total waste of storage space.
Plug welding is simple.
I have trained (random) high school students to make effective plug welds in the morning, and had them welding roof decking on commercial buildings in the afternoon.
