    Grinding it will be from now on, but that means PITA extra and careful grinding work for me.

    I tried using gasless MIG today(with 0.9mm gasless wire and low setting with number 3 wire speed) on under 1mm thick mild steel pipes.
    It was way too easy to blow a hole through it. So much so, I would've had better outcome with stick welder with low amp.
    But, kept persevering to get it right. It is apparently more difficult to weld thin sheet metal with a gasless MIG than with a gas one,
    and particularly my Ozito one, which I think 'cos of the lack of amp/volt control(Only low and high settings). Nothing in between.
    The rest has to be controlled with wire speed & heat management/hand control.
    I use a flap disk Dom takes bugger all effort and easy as .
