Re: [ihc] My Christmas Present

I have yet to convert to gas, all of my work is done outside in the wind so
flux-core is the way to go. Once I get both girls through college, and build
a 30X40 shop where I can work out of the weather I will hook up the weldmix
(gas).

I have some welding to do on the rear bumper of  the SS II but given its
proximity to the gas tank I have avoided the chore, now with the temps
running 20 to -10F I think that welding near the tank will be safer, less
likely to blow up!

Should I pre heat the metal when welding in temps this low?
