Welding in tight places

[sandycrack]

OK I only claim to be a hack at welding, but I do try to do a decent job.  My question is where I have seat tabs close to the bottom frame rail and the tab is angled down it gets real tight.  I tried to turn up the gas on the mig and just push the wire down in there, but started looking like a mud dobber.  Is there another trick or should I just get the tig out and change over to the stick side and weld it?

There's a knack to it
Turning your gas up is a start, your going to have a too long of an ark...(too much wire sticking out)
Soo turn your wire speed up and the amps down slighty on both cases
It will do the  sput sput sput thing for a second or 2...Stay put till the ark evens out and sounds right...then just stay at the leading edge of the puddle...If it starts to spit sput sputting again your traveling too fast slow down...You might be surprised at how well the welds look...
Years at lockheed and loram taught me this...Plus being a smaller guy I always got stuck into something nobody else could or would fit

Just stick it and be done with it.

Flux core works good in tight places too. No nozzle to worry about and you can hang the wire out as much as you can handle
