LKS 0 Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks for all!Madmax, I think the procedure could be the same. First draw the desirable shape in a paper to plan the job.If two welds are too close, when you are welding one point, the other may melt and loose, because the copper wire is a good thermal conductor. In this case it´s advisable that you put some jaws near the welding, in order to dissipate the heat.good luck!Luiz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
