I’m restoring a car and trying to patch panels by butt welding patches in. I’m getting these small holes along the seam. I’m moving around the patch and tacking it until the whole seam is tacked, but after grinding using 80 grit flap disc these small holes are revealed. What can I do to prevent or minimize this?
I’m tacking it using a mig welder set at 18.5v and 350 ipm. .023 solid wire with AR CO2 gas.
New to welding so any help is greatly appreciated.
