3. Use a resistance spot welder where access
permits. Try to ensure weld quality by using a
welding monitor where possible.
4. MIG tack weld butt joints and re-check
alignment and panel contours where
necessary. Ensure that a gap is maintained to
minimise welding distortion, by inserting a
hacksaw blade as an approximate guide.
5. Dress MIG tack welds using a sander with 36
grit disc, or a belt-type sander where access is
limited.
6. MIG seam weld butt joints.
