torch wielding works the best on sheet metal but takes a lot more practice
than the mig, if it is a no showing area the mig is fine but if it is a
surface wield then the torch is better . tig wielding would be good too but
that set will cost some big bucks. torch set ill be more versatile and the
cost will be less also.
