Jeff-
Hey Jeff ! Whatcha been working on lately ? I see the avatar changed and is that a hint ?

You can fusion weld using any welding method. But it's all in the fitment of the 2 pieces. The joint has to be very tight and you're just melting the seam and adding none or almost zero filler rod. In my case I'll use TIG because the weld is softer and can be flattened (hammered) easier. That's why most people use oxy/acet as that leaves even a softer weld that's easier to work. Mig is very hard and you really just have to grind it off. But it's much more forgiving for fitment and is way faster.
