Hi Larry,
I don't mean to be flip, but you really should take a course at your
local technical college. MIG welding is all about setup, and without a
method you're just guessing. But I can say 1/4 inch at a time sounds
about right. Do a spot weld here, across the piece over there, and
don't come back "here" until it's cool. Takes forever. OTOH, I suck at
welding myself, so I'll just sit back now and wait for corrections.
