Why not get some 2mm gouging rods and an arc welder?

I have a 210amp Sip but never tried this although have done a fair bit of welding with it. Full power and a heavy rod you reckon?

Gouging rods are a specific rod that does not deposit any weld, it just seems to blow the metal away, I havent a clue how they work, but very effective, if a little messy

Gouging rods

The ones we used to use were graphite coated with copper. They weren't available in anything that thin, I think the thinnest were 6 or 8mm





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

They sound like arc brazing rods.
