Re: Anyone with a welder?
Not sure on welding really.. The guy that welded it did a decent job but I found "sticks" left over that i had to break off in a few places.. All I know of is TIG/MIG really.. don't know how it works..
here is a pic of the manifold.. yea i know, its a log manifold, not the most efficient, but the only thing that would fit in my case and keep AC, and not cost $500+

that is MIG welded. the "sticks" you found was wire.
if someone got part of a stick from stick welding stuck...its 3/16"....and it doesnt leave little pieces.
basic:
TIG-clean looking, very even bead, great penetration. little to no spatter
MIG-decent bead, depending on shielding gas is how much slag/spatter you have
Stick-lots of slag that must be removed with slag hammer. also used mainly on thick metal. real hard to do on sheetmetal.
