I have been practicing my gas welding skills and trying to follow rotor wrench' suggestions. Not very pretty yet. I am using a small old Harris torch. Next step is to drop down to a 0 tip size and see how that goes. I was not able to find RG-45 filler rod in a diameter smaller than 1/16". I asked my welding shop about TIG filler rod, but it was the same ER70-S6 material as the MIG wire, or something very similar.

I did the firewall repair in my avatar photo with the MIG welder and I am pleased with how it turned out after some grinding. That was before I had the O/A setup.

Oh well, keep practicing with the torch.
