Mario these guys are giving you GREAT advice!

Keep practicing! I agree with the start using the TIG thoughts too... Find some material and practice, practice, practice.

Did I miss Rodger answering what rod they use? I have tried using MIG wire as has been mentioned on here. Worked really well, I think next time I am going to cut a 6' section and twist it into a 3' "rod" so I get the melting point of the .030 but the filling of a .060 rod. I find I can get small voids at the edges of the welds if I am not really careful. I haven't practiced too much with the MIG filler yet though so I may continue to practice more before I double up the wire.
