there are 2 sorts of welding, the pretty stuff which can take ages, and the stuff you do to join to bits of metal together

the later takes longer to grind away

and watch out for the pidgeon shit hiding crap welds so get yourself a little pic hammer to knock it off to check it's sound

Dojj your on about MMA (commonly known as STICK or ARC) welding, NOT the type of welding you do on car panels

MIG is the one you want, as people have said... clean the mating faces, go steady, lots of practice and patience is the only way.

Good luck
