Best way to stick weld soup cans together?

admin

If I wanted to weld some soup cans together, end to end (Stacked on top of each other), what would be the best way to do that with a 220V AC stick welder. I've got 1/16" 7014 rod, and 3/32" in 7014 and 6011. I'm thinking smallest rod, low amps would give me the smallest chance of burning through, but I'm pretty sure I'd still burn through anyway. What are soup cans made of, anyway?"To tell which polarity to use go to the bathroom and pour some water down the drain. If it runs clockwise use straight polarity. If it runs counter-clockwise use reverse polarity. Or if it just gurgles use alternating current." -RandomDave

Reply:Take one can, put it on the bench. Take another can, put it on top of the first can. Then, weld them together. What? City of L.A.
