I could sure use some good advice on mig welding in patch panels. I am using a Lincoln weld pack 100 with the mig conversion and 75/25 gas & .023 wire. Is there a guidline for what to set the volts & wire speed on? What works for you guys that do this alot. I have not had alot of practice yet with this thin stuff, I'm OK at welding 1/8" and thicker. Is there a way to weld overhead with a mig? I have tried to use the chart on the welder door, but it seems to be to hot (burns thru the metal). Any help would be great. Thanks ahead of time. Greg
